Who You Will Interact with in the Community Meal
As a volunteer at the Community Meal you will serve individuals and families seeking a hot meal. Although the Community Meal is free and open to the public, many of the clients we serve are experiencing homelessness. During the meal, you will also interact with other volunteers and the Catholic Charities staff.
Please note our clients come from a variety of life experiences and circumstances. If you have a questionable or uncomfortable interaction with a client, notify a Catholic Charities staff member immediately.
