Come throw it down in the kitchen with our very own chef! Under the guidance and supervision of a culinary-trained professional and all-around nice human, we will prepare vegetables and create meals for communities in need. No kitchen experience required.
Prepare and process vegetables. Cut, dice, and slice or use of kitchen equipment. Help with cooking. Portioning and packaging up meals. Place sticker labels on packaged meals. Dishwashing. Clean-up.
Overcoming barriers to food security by cooking and delivering cost-free family meals to those in need, no questions asked. Each week volunteers come together to cook and deliver a chef-prepared meal to over 80 families in need. Each meal feeds up to 4 people at no cost, no questions asked. If they are humble enough to ask for a meal, we are gracious enough to provide them with one. Grassroots and community-supported, we help feed low income families, caregivers, single parents, adults and children with mental and physical disabilities. We partner with local food hubs, food businesses, farmers, and farmers markets to help reduce food waste while eliminating barriers to food security. We believe in the power of community and removing barriers to accessible food. Since our founding, we have been providing our services at no cost, no questions asked because we believe that accessible better food is a human right. Volunteers get to work alongside us and make a direct and immediate impact whether in the kitchen, on the road, or remotely.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with MCK! Our critical work in reducing hunger and fighting food insecurity is made possible because of community support. We are always in need of volunteers. The process is easy and simple and does not require a commitment. Opportunities for kitchen, delivering, and even remote help are available. If there is a skill set or particular role you currently don't see here but would like to chat about with our team, leave us a comment or send an email to info@milkcratekitchen.org or text/call 971-808-2851. Interested in working on a project or sending your team for a group volunteering experience? We'd love to hear from you!
