Opportunity Details
Wednesday Meal Prep & Care Kit Volunteers (age 18+) *Hands On*
Since 1981, Operation Nightwatch has provided hospitality to alleviate the isolation experienced by those living on the streets. We also distribute essential items and offer drop in mental health support to those who request it.
Come help support your unhoused community by prepping snacks, meals, and care kits for our service nights. Food is one of our most essential needs — and the meaning behind a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich is more powerful than you might think.
Volunteers will work together to make sandwiches and other snacks, as well as assemble care kits that support the hygiene needs of our unhoused neighbors. Your time and effort help our outreach team run more smoothly during service nights and ensure that everyone we serve feels supported and cared for by their community.
Volunteer Activities Include:
- Preparing and assembling sandwiches and snacks
- Packing care kits with hygiene essentials
- Organizing food and supply materials
Time Commitment:
Wednesdays, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
