Introducing Lunch & Serve: A New Volunteer Group Opportunity for Teams

< See all posts

You can't create a team culture virtually. Whether you are a company seeking a memorable opportunity for team-building, or a community group looking to strengthen your sense of belonging, Food & Friends has the perfect opportunity for you that will increase engagement.

This opportunity is open to official corporate, civic/social, faith-based and school groups. A group must be 4 – 10 people, and all members must be fully vaccinated which includes at least one booster, and provide proof of vaccination prior to their shift. Lunch must be ordered and paid for by the group and delivered to Food & Friends by 11:30 am on the day of service. If you’re interested, send an email to volunteer@foodandfriends.org. Subject line: Lunch & Serve, and we’ll get you on the schedule.

The all-new Lunch & Serve summer series kicks off Wednesday, June 22 and will run through Thursday, September 22.

Schedule:

  • 11:30 - 11:45 am - Arrive at Food & Friends
  • 11:45 pm – 12:45 pm – Lunch
  • 12:50 pm – 1:00 pm -- Orientation and shift preparation
  • 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Volunteer
  • 3:01 pm – Beyond – Continue making the world a better place

We combine community-building with hands-on fun, social responsibility, and the fulfillment of seeing the tangible impacts your team will make in the lives of the more than 4,000 neighbors we serve. Our volunteer program was voted "Best of D.C." by Washington City Paper in 2021, a distinction we have held for the past three consecutive years.

The past two years have shown us that life is precious. Let’s make this summer extra special.
