Do you like to cook? Food for Change needs your help!

We serve a hot meal every Sunday, rain or shine. On an average week 75-90 people come for lunch, as well as for non-perishable food, snacks, and hygiene items.

We are looking for volunteers who can help make food for the lunch. Salads, side dishes, main dishes, desserts…you name it! Can you help?

Reply here for more information about how to get involved in this great cause, or message Melinda directly. Thanks!
