Thanksgiving Day
On Thanksgiving Day, each location may run a little differently, but we all have one purpose – cook, prepare, and deliver meals to those who are less fortunate. Here are some of the volunteer opportunities at the big event:
Setup – Moving tables around, getting ready for a big crowd and assembly line, etc.
Cooking – Kitchen work involves the cooking and prep for each food item; deboning turkeys, prepping vegetables, opening canned items, making mashed potatoes, staging pies, and more.
Decoration – Children’s tables will be set up with drawing material to decorate the meal packaging before it is filled with food.
Plating – Each type of food will need to be added to the plate as the assembly line comes by each food station.
Packaging – Plates will be carried down the assembly line of food stations to be filled with a portion of each type of food. Completed plates are then carried out to the delivery drivers.
Delivery Drivers – Delivering meals & toiletries involves loading the cars with the correct number of meals and supplies, driving to the delivery location, and handing the meals to those in need.
Cleaning – After a successful Thanksgiving Day, when all food has been packaged and sent out to deliver, there is some cleanup to get the venue back to its previous condition.
