Become a Teen Volunteer

WE LOVE OUR TEEN VOLUNTEERS

Teens are intelligent, responsible, capable, creative, and caring. They possess the power to make a huge difference in our world.

As a Healing Meals Community Project volunteer, we invite you to step into an experience that involves learning, growing, teamwork and giving back to your community.

No kitchen or garden experience is needed to volunteer, we simply ask everyone to be open-hearted and kind. There is a place for everyone at Healing Meals.
