Provide a Meal at LifeMoves
Gather your family, friends, coworkers, or community group to provide and serve a meal to LifeMoves clients. Whether you help serve food or provide the entire meal, your time and care help create a welcoming community.
There are Two Ways to Get Involved
Before You Sign Up
-
Bring a group of at least three. Meal service welcomes families, friends, coworkers, corporate groups, community organizations, and faith-based organizations. Larger groups are welcome to help with setup, serving, and cleanup. Review your selected site’s instructions before signing up.
-
Check the age requirements. Minimum volunteer ages vary by location. Review the requirements for everyone in your group.
-
Confirm how much food is needed. If your group is providing a meal, plan to feed the entire site. Each location serves a different number of people, so check the meal quantity before signing up.
-
Prepare food safely. You may bring homemade meals prepared off-site, catered meals, or a combination of both. All meals must follow LifeMoves’ Nutrition Policy and Food Safety Guidelines.
