Volunteer Opportunities

NourishKC has adapted its volunteer model to stay within COVID-19 guidelines and ensure safety for all staff, volunteers, and guests. There are two shifts offered every weekday–a three-hour morning shift and a four-hour afternoon shift.

As a volunteer, you can expect to clean and cut produce, plate food, clean the kitchen, and serve meals to the guests. Please review the volunteer orientation video below to be best equipped for your upcoming volunteer shift!

Interested in Board membership?

The Board of Directors of NourishKC currently is recruiting for the 2023 class of board members. The Board also is looking for individuals to serve on board committees without the commitment of full board membership…learn more

Food Rescue Volunteer

“Kenny and Linda make you feel so welcomed! I look forward to volunteering because they make it fun. I have served at other nonprofit organizations in KC, but I don’t get the same gratification that I do from KCCK. I like seeing the individuals I’m helping because I feel it is more of a direct impact.”
– Anonymous Volunteer

Our volunteers have served this many hours so far in 2021!
