Group Volunteers

Volunteers Wanted and Welcome!

Volunteer with up to 10 of your friends, family or colleagues. Build team, have fun and make a huge difference in our community!

Volunteering at the Inn is a meaningful way to give back and connect with community. The Friendship Inn relies on volunteer power to deliver our Free Meal Program and provide food security to those in need. We welcome volunteers (ages 18 and up) and have opportunities seven days a week ranging from food preparation to meal service, cleaning and other tasks, depending on the day.

We’re always happy to answer your questions and have a more detailed conversation about what you can expect when Volunteering at the Friendship Inn.

For more details, please read our Volunteer Information sheet.

Volunteer shift times can be flexible, depending on your schedule. Your help is most needed during meal service times:

  • Breakfast Service: 7:30 am to 9:30 am. You’re welcome to eat breakfast with us beginning at 9:30 am.
  • Lunch Service: 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. You’re welcome to eat lunch with us beginning at 1:30 pm.
  • Full Day of Volunteering: 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. You’re welcome to eat breakfast and lunch.
