How to volunteer as a group

Manna on Main Street has several opportunities for small groups of volunteers to support our operations. Please note that all volunteer shifts, including groups, need to be scheduled and confirmed in advance. If you are interested in scheduling a group, email Meg Currie Teoh, Manna’s Director of Volunteer & Community Engagement, at meg@mannaonmain.org.

The following are group volunteer opportunities currently available:

Manna’s Dinner: Maximum of 6 volunteers. 4pm – 6:30pm, Monday through Thursday

During this dinner service, guests will be served as in a restaurant. Volunteers will welcome them, bring them utensils and drinks, take their meal order and deliver it to their table. Volunteers will bus the table when they are finished eating and help wipe up after the meal. If there is time, all are welcome to sit and enjoy a meal with the community!

To Go Meal Production: Maximum of 4 volunteers, 9:30am – 12noon and 12noon-3pm. Available for groups on Tuesdays and Fridays (Fridays are 9:30 – 12noon only). 

Volunteers work in our Food Production Space to prepare and package bagged meals for our Soup Kitchen clients.

Manna’s Market: Maximum of 4 volunteers, 4:30pm – 7:30pm on Wednesdays.

Volunteers will support shoppers in Manna’s food pantry (“Market”), guiding them through our Market and bagging their groceries.

Note: For volunteer groups that are larger than the maximums listed above, Manna may be able to arrange for special projects, with different opportunities scheduled throughout one day or over multiple days. The availability of larger group volunteer opportunities varies throughout the year. Please email Meg Currie Teoh at meg@mannaonmain.org to inquire.
