Cook or Provide a Meal for Homeless Neighbors

Partner Description

PATH’s goal is to end homelessness for individuals, families, and communities through a combination of services across the state of California. Currently, PATH operates two homeless shelters in Orange County: The Yale Navigation Center (Santa Ana) and the Placentia Navigation Center (Placentia).
Need
Fuel the journey toward permanent housing by providing or helping serve nutritious meals to local residents in interim shelter! For individuals transitioning off the streets, consistent, healthy meals offer vital physical comfort and stability. PATH Orange County is in need of volunteer groups willing and able to provide and serve meals of their own.
More Details
"This is a fantastic, highly practical on-site opportunity for families/small groups who want to serve directly in a professional kitchen environment.
You can volunteer to personally assist the on-site culinary team with meal prep and serving, or coordinate with your small group to sponsor and bring in a meal for the residents. This opportunity is best suited for groups who are interested in preparing and serving their own food directly to our unhoused clients. You may prepare the meal at our center using our kitchen or prepare the meal beforehand and serve the food on-site. Serve meals at the Yale Navigation Center in Santa Ana or at Bridges at Kraemer Place in Anaheim."
