Bring & Serve Breakfast Weekdays at Day Shelter

The Women’s Center relies on the support and generosity of our community to provide weekday morning meals for our Day Shelter guests. Please note that all meals must be prepared off-site and brought to the center "ready to go."

Age requirements: Children under 13 years old are not allowed to serve meals onsite. Volunteers 13-15 years old must be accompanied by a parent when coming onsite to serve a meal. Volunteers 16-18 years old may serve without a parent. In addition, ALL volunteers under 18 years old must submit the required volunteer waivers and have a parent sign the waivers as well. 

⚠️ Critical Requirements

• Off-Site Preparation: All meals must be prepared prior to delivery. We have no full kitchen in our facility.
• Ready to Eat: Food should arrive fully cooked and ready for immediate consumption. We allow the use of crockpots and we have microwaves onsite, if needed.
• Serving: Volunteers are asked to bring AND serve the breakfast, if possible. Please send notification if serving is not possible so we can make sure to have staff available to help. 
• Timing: Please arrive at 8 AM to set-up the meal. Check in with the receptionist upon arrival. Breakfast is served from 8:30-9:30 AM.
• Volume: Please prepare a full meal for 70 women.

Menu & Supply Suggestions

• Food: Breakfast casseroles, quiche, breakfast burritos, pancakes, French toast, meats, boiled eggs, assorted biscuits (chicken, steak, egg and cheese, etc.), yogurt parfaits, home fries, grits, muffins, bagels with cream cheese, or fresh fruit.
• Beverages: Juices, milk, or chocolate milk are greatly appreciated.
• Supplies: If you are able, providing paper plates, cups, bowls, and plastic cutlery helps tremendously!
