On-site Kitchen Volunteer (Oceano Community Center)

Join our Kitchen Meal Prep team at the Oceano Community Center every Monday to Wednesday and help prepare nutritious, balanced meals for residents in our shelters. Volunteers work together to chop ingredients, cook, portion, and package dinners that are delivered to individuals and families working toward stable housing.

This role is hands on, social, and a great way to make a direct impact in just a couple of hours. No professional cooking experience is needed, just a willingness to help and follow basic kitchen guidelines. All meals are prepared for our shelter programs and include ingredient tracking for allergies and dietary needs.

Volunteers should be comfortable in a kitchen environment, following food safety practices, and working as part of a team. This is a meaningful way to support the mission of 5Cities Homeless Coalition by helping ensure our residents have consistent, quality meals as they focus on their housing goals.
