What volunteer opportunities are there at Community Cooperative?

• Everyday Café (Soup Kitchen)
  • Duties include preparing foods, serving the hungry and homeless and cleaning up the kitchen.
• Choice Marketplace
  • Duties include guiding customers in collecting take home food for their families. Volunteer needs to have a strong back to restock the Everyday Market which involves lifting and bending.
• Meals on Wheels
  • Drivers are scheduled for a ride along with another driver before receiving a route. Drivers usually volunteer one morning per week. Coolers are ready for pick up 8:30 am from a Community Cooperative site or one of our satellite locations. Each route takes about 2 to 2 ½ hours to deliver and take place during the morning hours of 8:30 am to 10:30 am. We also need back-up drivers and volunteers to transport meals to pick-up locations for drivers.
  • Preparing, cooking and package Meals on Wheels meals starts as early as 6:00 am every weekday.
• Homeless Services, Social Services and Life Coaching
  • Greeting customers, gathering information, preparing hygiene packages, linking homeless clients to community services, offering housing and employment opportunities, Medicaid and food stamp applications are just among the few of the opportunities.
• Administrative Help
  • All areas – phones, filing, and data input, mailing and projects.
• Community Cooperative Gardens
