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 two hour morning shift and a three hour afternoon shift- each allowing a maximum of eight volunteers.
Tasks volunteers can expect to do during their volunteer shift are cleaning and cutting produce, plating food in to-go containers, cleaning and serving meals to the guests as they come up to the door.
Please review the volunteer orientation video below to be best equipped for your upcoming volunteer shift!

Anonymous quotes from volunteer survey:
“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.”
