Meals from Heart: Dinner
❤ Dinner is served daily at 6:00pm. Please arrive no earlier than 3:00 p.m. to start prepping.
❤ Groups must clean up workspace and all utensils from cooking. Please plan to stay until around 6:30 p.m. after clean-up.
❤ You choose the menu! Food and ingredients must be purchased by the group. You are responsible for the entire meal. Please be prepared to feed up to 65-75 people.
❤ A week before your scheduled volunteer shift, one of our team members will reach out to provide you with an approximate headcount of families, confirm your registration and to discuss your menu selection.
❤ We do not serve dinner buffet style. All meals must be packed into individual containers. Please bring individual containers for each meal
❤ The House is equipped with a full kitchen, stocked with pots, pans, bake ware and
utensils for preparing a meal.
Dinnerware and silverware are also made available by the House. No need
to bring drinks.
Please take a moment to review our guidelines here.
Note: If you are under the age of 18 you MUST be accompanied by an adult
❤ The team leader must sign up to reserve the date and shift. Each sign-up is for one group of up to 12 participants only. Individuals may not join other groups. Once the team leader signs up and enters the team name, the system will automatically hold all 12 spots for the entire team
