Volunteer: Cook / Provide Drop-in Center Meals

Every weekday, Tumbleweed provides a hot meal for youth who stop into our Drop-In Center. We serve lunch from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM every day. The Drop-In Center is not a shelter, but it provides an important space for youth to escape the elements and, for a short time, a chance to rest and refocus. We depend on our volunteers to provide a hot and yummy meal for our youth to enjoy during this time. We especially appreciate it when volunteers sign up for a monthly commitment! This helps us set a schedule for our youth! 

We ask that meals be enough for 25-30 youth and that you drop it off at the Tumbleweed office before 10:00 AM on the day you are scheduled.
