Getting involved
Since its inception, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen has
depended on the time and efforts of others in the community
who shared our concern and commitment to the poor. At
the heart of our mission is the service of the many
volunteers that donate their time on a daily, weekly
or monthly basis. Whether preparing food in the kitchen,
serving meals to guests; planting, weeding or harvesting
in the Earthworks garden; hanging clothing, building
pantry boxes or packaging meat in the Services Center;
tutoring or mentoring a child or assisting in the Arts
program at the Children's Library, volunteers provide
the extra pair of hands, the warm smile and caring attitude
that make the Capuchin Soup Kitchen what it is. The
hours of service given by volunteers translates into
over 30 additional full time staff that would have to
be employed to serve those who come to our door. The
generous gift of time given to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen
by volunteers insures that we are able to return eighty-nine
cents of every donated dollar to direct client services.
If you want to volunteer at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen
we ask you to bring three important things with you:
a willingness to work hard, an open and positive attitude,
and a smile. We can promise you that you will work hard,
have some fun, and learn a great deal about yourself
and your fellow human beings.
