We are volunteer-driven. Just ask our 1,200 volunteers!

This amazing group of volunteers put in more than 12,500 hours of service for Miriam's Kitchen in 2009--the equivalent of having six additional full-time staff members!

We are always open to ideas for ways that community members can get involved, but here are a few ways you can help:

Help Serve Breakfast
Breakfast volunteers arrive at 6 am and spend the next two hours chopping vegetables, flipping pancakes, baking biscuits and washing dishes.

Help Serve Lunch
Lunch volunteers join us on Wednesdays from 11:30 am-2 pm and help prepare lunch, serve drinks and distribute door prizes to our guests.

Help Serve Dinner
Dinner volunteers are needed every week night from 4-6:30 pm to help prepare and serve healthy meals to our guests.

Help Prepare Dinner
Volunteers are needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-2 pm to help prepare recipes for our dinner service.

Help Our Case Managers
Volunteers are needed to help sort clothes, hand out toiletries and interact with our guests every weekday morning and evening.

Host a Clothing or Toiletry Drive
We rely on in-kind donations to provide our guests with clean clothing and new toiletries. Organizing a clothing or toiletry drive in your office, church, community center or neighborhood is an easy way to provide assistance to our guests. Please click here to our wish list.

Suggest a Project
We are always looking for new ways to get volunteers involved at Miriam's Kitchen. If you have an idea, let us know.
