Senior Nutrition Program
Volunteers are needed to help serve lunch Monday through Friday, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Barbara Lee Senior Center. The Senior Nutrition program has been serving over 100 meals every day, and the numbers continue to increase every week. This volunteer assignment requires training, therefore, it will work best for volunteers able to commit to a long-term assignment, rather than a one-time service. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of two days per week. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has worked in food service or wants to gain skills to pursue a career in food service.
Email the Recreation and Community Services for more information.
