Opportunity Name:
Prepare Meals for "Lunch on Wednesdays and Thursdays"

Description:

The Housing Transitions Program (HTP) is a warm, welcoming place for self-identified women, who are at least 25 years old and experiencing homelessness, and offers community-building for those who have achieved housing.

Position Description:

HTP offers drop-in services for clients Monday-Friday 10am to 1pm and a lunch on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:30am. This weekly lunch provides variety and a more nutritious meal than their daily sack lunch.

 

We are looking for volunteers to cook and provide healthy, delicious meals for 20 women on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can sign up for one shift or multiple Wednesdays or Thursdays, depending on what will work best for your schedule. Please drop the meals off onsite at Catholic Charities of Oregon Housing Transitions Program at 11am on the days you choose (so it will be ready for the 11:30 meal service).

 

Work Environment :

We are located at Catholic Charities of Oregon on 2740 SE Powell Blvd., Suite 6, on the #9 bus line. The entrance is in the back of the building on the lower level of Clark Family Center.

 

Volunteers will drop off the prepared meals to  HTP staff at their building entrance at 2740 SE Powell Blvd (rear of the building by the parking garage/Housing Transitions door is labeled).

 

Essential Responsibilities:

  • Purchase/donate food items needed for 20 meals
  • Meal preparation
  • Drop off to the HTP site

 

Suggested meal ideas include; large one pot dishes such as spaghetti, enchiladas, chili, and soup are a few suggestions. Meat/cheese sandwiches, Caesar Salads, hamburgers, and other options are equally welcome.

 

If possible, if 2-3 servings (of the 20) are vegetarian that would allow us to serve all guest equally, but staff can create other opportunities to substitute main dishes with a vegetarian option if needed.

 

Please note that the kitchen does not have a stove. Plan on bringing the food near the temperature at which it should be served. There are crock pots available and a microwave, but items should already be cooked if cooking is required (heat to eat is fine).

 

Qualifications & Training Needed:

A passion for making and sharing food with those that will appreciate a healthy, delicious meal!

 

If you commit to preparing a meal for Wednesday or Thursday lunches and must cancel, please let us know ASAP, and no later than 1 week prior. These meals mean so much to the clients receiving them and advance notice will allow us to make arrangements in advance for other meal alternatives.

 

Time Commitment (include start/end date):

Lunch preparation and drop off times may vary. Approximately a 5-8 hour commitment.
