Feed the Hungry

Prepare and serve meals in the Caritas Community Kitchen, collect and donate food for Pantry clients, or donate and serve meals for people in supportive housing.

• Prepare and serve lunch in the Caritas Community Kitchen with a team of volunteers dedicated to serving smiles with food!
• Food Drives: conduct your own food drive in your neighborhood or business, school, or church.  Collect canned goods and other non-perishable items for use by our pantry clients.
• Participate in community-wide food drives.
• Serve on a Food Drive Committee.
• Cook and serve a meal for people living in supportive housing.

           
Time Commitment:  Flexible

Dress Code:  Caritas requires volunteers in the Kitchen be suitably attired. Jeans and t-shirts are fine. We require closed-toed shoes, no sandals or flip-flops. We realize that summers in Austin are hot, but our minimum clothing requirements dictate that shorts worn must be no more than three inches above the knee. No short shorts or tank tops are allowed and volunteers who come dressed unsuitably will be required to change clothes before volunteering in the Kitchen. Long hair must be secured away from food, tied up or back in a cap. 

To volunteer, contact Molly Sipe for an interview and orientation at (512) 646-1291 or msipe@caritasofaustin.org., complete the Volunteer Application and/or attend the Volunteer Open House.
