QUALIFICATIONS: Volunteers should be excited about working with 3 to 5-year-olds and teachers, able to inventory and take temperature measurements, and have experience in a kitchen setting. **Bilingual (English and Spanish)- mandatory. Experience working with 3 to 5-year-olds or working or volunteering in a kitchen is a plus!

SCHEDULE/TIME COMMITMENT: Volunteer shifts are available Monday through Thursday, 4 hours each, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Volunteers can determine how many shifts a month they would like to take on.

BENEFITS: Opportunity to interact with young children and support their families and Volunteers of America staff; Volunteers feel good about giving back to their local community by providing high quality and nutritious meals to low income youth.
