Meal Preparer

Healty eating nourishes the body, gives us energy, and improves our physical and mental health. It is especially important for young people to meet their nutritional needs. 

We are looking for volunteers with a passion for food and a flair for cooking to prepare meals at Phoenix Youth Shelter and Phoenix House. You don't need to have any professional cooking experience.
