Our Volunteers
Are Amazing
We are all Volunteers here at the Community Kitchen. The only paid position is the part-time kitchen manager, who wrangles the food, the patrons, the phone, and all of the Volunteers and an amazing custodian/dishwasher who keeps our facility shining and welcoming.
​
Folks volunteer hours of their time to prepare, pack, and serve lunch five days a week. People pack lunches to send weekend meal bags for the Rainbow House, the WVU-ACT program, and the Barttlet House apartment complex on West Run as well as for our daily diners.
​
Volunteers make grocery store runs for basic supplies and to fill in the gaps among food donations. They unload large orders of food supplies from Mountaineer Food Bank, or 1,000 pairs of socks from Bombas.
Caring for the Pets
The Care Crew
Veterinarians & staff from Banfield Pittsburgh-Cleveland Market came to the Kitchen to give vaccinations, provide dewormer medicine, check furry ears, clip nails, and provide some preventative medications. All this and their time donated to make life better for the pets of our patrons. With cheese snacks as bribes, everyone left happier and healthier. Thank you for your time, your caring, and your willingness to do this lovely service for those we serve.
