serving in the kitchen

If you would like to participate in serving meals, there are a few ways to become involved.  The ministry is organized in serving teams, each of which has a team leader.  Leaders and team members are trained in areas of acceptable dining hall behavior, general safety, food and kitchen sanitation, security, and fire awareness.  A packet with this material is distributed for review to participating teams.  Anyone that serves is expected to become familiar with these policies.  We also ask that volunteers are 16 years or older, unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.  Training sessions are offered periodically and all volunteers are encouraged to attend.   It is not a requirement to attend training before one can volunteer, but please download and read the policies if you have not attended training.                                    

serving teams

In order to join the ministry with a serving team, the following goals should be met:

1. Each team shall designate a Team Leader that will serve as liaison to the Board of Directors
2. The Team Leader is responsible for working with the scheduler to assign their serving days
3. The Team Leader is responsible for their team & duties associated with their assigned days
4. Team should have at least 6 members, one of which should be a male
5. All members shall agree to review and honor all policies and kitchen use guidelines
6. Each team shall provide the complete meal, serve, and clean up on their assigned day

individuals

​If you are not associated with a church that sponsors a team, the simplest thing to do is contact one of the team leaders at a church that has a team established and ask to serve with them.  A complete list of teams and contact information is posted to the website and the serving calendar is also available on-line.  A second way is to contact one of the Advisory Board Members and work with them to be assigned times to serve with one of the teams.  

how to donate

 

THANK YOU for your support!  Disciples Kitchen is a volunteer-based organization, but there are still costs in running the two kitchens. Your donations go to operating costs (utilities, facilities, maintenance, equipment, supplies, communication, etc.).  All food is provided and served by our volunteers.
