Volunteering at Open Heart Kitchen
Thank you for your interest in supporting Open Heart Kitchen
by volunteering this holiday season!
As the holidays approach, we are especially grateful for the support of our volunteer community. Your time and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
Please note: During this season, volunteer interest is higher than usual. Our programs run year-round, and we do not offer special holiday meals, so staff and facilities maintain the same capacity. While we welcome as many volunteers as possible, shifts may fill more quickly than usual.
Open Heart Kitchen will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
Thank you for sharing your time, compassion, and generosity this season.
