Opportunities From: Star of Hope Mission

Our guests love special meals themed for a holiday or just for fun! Put on a luau or Mexican fiesta, offer to host a good old-fashioned southern BBQ, or bring in music and dessert. Your group can design the entire dining experience for our guests.

Choose the specific meal you’d like to serve (breakfast, lunch, or dinner for 400 people).  Plan, purchase the food, prepare and serve the meal in one of our kitchen facilities (Men's Development Center or Women and Family Development Center)  Enjoy this delicious meal with our guests or program participants!

For information about mealtimes, special events, or specific ideas you’d like to share, email Volunteer Services at volunteerservices@sohmission.org

Sack lunches are an everyday need for residents who are out job searching, at social service appointments or just arrived at our shelter. Sack lunches consist of a sandwich (condiments on the side) & a few sides such as chips, snack bars, fruit, dessert.  We also ask that you provide water bottles to be distributed with the lunch. This is an onsite project. 

Volunteers must purchase and bring ALL items needed to assemble sack lunches onsite. Kitchen staff will be there to assist our volunteers.
