Prepare a Snack
View our calendar to book your snack time.
- Volunteer with up to four people to prepare healthy “grab-and-go” snacks for guest families living in our House.
- View our calendar below to sign up online for a date and time. This opportunity is available Monday – Thursday from either 2-4 p.m. or 6-8 p.m. and Fridays from 2-4 p.m.
- You will select one of our recipes before booking your time with us and use our shopping list to purchase all necessary ingredients before your arrival.
- Note: there can be no nuts of any kind added to these recipes.
You may have up to four people in your group. Ages 16 or older may volunteer, but there must be one adult 18 years or older in your group of four. Please note: we are unable to accommodate more than four people in your group.
After selecting from our list of recipes and signing up on our calendar, you will be contacted by a member of our Food and Fun team within 48 hours of booking to confirm.
On the day of your volunteer experience, we will greet your group and get you on your way to preparing a snack for guests to eat later. Your time will be spent preparing 75-80 servings of your snack as well as cleaning and organizing the kitchen to keep it safe and ready for our guests to use as well.
