Public Sessions

Your volunteer experience will be 2 hours in length and will include registration, a short presentation on children at risk, training, packing, cleaning up, tasting the food and picture taking! Sessions are held on Saturday mornings unless otherwise specified. We do ask for help financially to pay for the ingredients that you will use during your session.

Is this your first time at the "Factory" and you want to bring a group? If so, that is great news! To help you get started, please click on the image below for helpful information.

Are you ready to register for a Public Session? If so, then use the scroll bar on the calendar below to find an available date and time to serve. Those dates are shown in green. Then use the registration form below the calendar to schedule your request. 

Our challenge however, is to help new volunteers experience the "Factory" while accommodating those who have helped us in the past. In addition, we are producing more life saving meals now than ever before. That is great news but also comes with the responsibility to pay for more food ingredients on an ever increasing basis. Nearly 300 tons of ingredients have been used since we started

Since none of our funding or support comes from federal, state or local sources we must rely upon the financial gifts of our volunteers to continue. As such, we have to balance our packing sessions with those who will help us financially while at the same time welcoming new guests and those that have volunteered with us before. We appreciate your patience and grace as we make each packing session a memorable experience for everyone.

If your desired session is FULL, consider completing the request form and ask to be placed on the waiting list for that session in the comments box.

PLEASE NOTE: To make the process of registration easier and faster, please share this check-in form with the adults in your group. Encourage them to fill out the registration form, print it, and bring it with them when they come to the "Factory".
