Cook Teams – URGENT NEED
Grab your friends and pick one night per month (or more!) to prepare dinner for our guests at Utah’s Place. Teams are made up of 4-7 people who donate, prepare and serve dinner for an average of 90 guests. We need dinner prepared every night, so come join the fun in the kitchen! This generally takes three to four hours per dinner, beginning around 12 PM, with food for Sierra Guest Home, our senior housing complex, ready for transport (by our transportation van) at 4:30pm and serving dinner at the shelter between 5pm and 5:30pm. Any help with cleaning afterward is greatly appreciated.
Examples of cook group dinners:
Cook group 1: Enchilada pie, cooked carrots, cole slaw + ice cream
Cook group 2: Lasagna, garlic bread, salad + dessert
Cook group 3: Cheesy Potato Chicken plus sides
To help groups with cost of food, Hospitality House may reimburse up to $100. Reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator for more info at jsolis-hernandez@hhshelter.org
Cook Individuals – URGENT NEED
If you’d like to volunteer in the kitchen without creating a team, individual volunteers are welcome to join. Generally, kitchen volunteers come in one day per week for 3-4 hours. Over the past fiscal year, our humble shelter kitchen served over 79,344 meals. You can help provide nourishing and comforting meals to our homeless guests. URGENT NEED TIMES and dates: 9 am- 12:00pm and 12:00pm-4:30 pm Monday-Sunday.
Animal Foster
This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity and a fulfilling chance to help a furry friend in need of a temporary home. If you are interested in being an animal foster, please fill out the volunteer application above or email jsolis-hernandez@hhshelter.org.
Enrichment Classes- Teachers, Artists and Musicians
Be a part of our enrichment program by teaching and sharing your skills and passions to our guests. Enrichment happens every afternoon, at the shelter, sometime between 7 PM and 8 PM. This can be a one-time event or an ongoing class you’d like to continue teaching and each session can be as short or long as desired. This is a fabulous opportunity to get to know our homeless community that live among you and enrich their lives. This area is wide open, so contact us with your ideas and we’ll see how we can make them work. We’re currently looking for BINGO NIGHT volunteers, musicians and artists.
