Program Details:
Our Community Meal Program offers access to high quality, nutritious meals prepared in-house by our chef and volunteers. The Alex CFC is first and foremost a community space. We are always working to cultivate an atmosphere of connection and belonging, using a dignified approach. Community members who attend our meals are never asked to prove their income or justify their needs. While beverages are offered in a self-service style, our meal operates like a restaurant when it comes to food service. Volunteers serve the plates to community members at their tables and clear the tables when the meal is finished.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Group Volunteers play a very important role in promoting a dignified and welcoming space for community members, maintaining high-quality standards and complementing our existing volunteer team during community meals. Groups support staff and volunteers to ensure the dining hall is clean, organized and ready for the community to share a delicious meal together. Members of a group can find themselves helping with food preparation in the kitchen, serving meals and clearing tables in the dining hall, replenishing the coffee and tea station and helping out with the Fresh & Fare Community Market & Refillery on Fridays.
