what do our volunteers do?

Our Volunteers are central to the work at Thelma's Kitchen. By contributing their time, energy and abilities, we are able to produce affordable, delicious meals to feed our neighbors.

When at Thelma's, volunteers work alongside our team of professional chefs to create entrees, sides, and prepare all the box lunches we serve to our community and neighbors.

Volunteers have opportunities to cook, prepare, package and deliver meals during their time at Thelma's, as well as run the cash register, bus tables, and greet customers. Every person who contributes to the work we do helps feed our community!
