Imagine trading days—or even weeks or months—of hospital food and vending machines for a delicious, home-cooked meal. That’s the impact you can make as a meal volunteer at Hope’s Harbor!
Whether you come as a family or with friends, coworkers, classmates, or teammates, preparing a meal for our guests is a meaningful and rewarding experience. You can choose to make breakfast, lunch, or dinner, either in our beautiful gourmet kitchen or by bringing food from a commercial kitchen or restaurant.
Our pantry is fully stocked, and you’re welcome to use any available items to help prepare your meal. Volunteers typically cook for 10–15 people at our Lutheran location and 6–8 people at our Dupont location. While we don’t require you to accommodate specific dietary needs, guests are always welcome to prepare something else from the pantry if needed.
