Prepare, Pack, and Distribute Meals for My Brother's Table
The health and safety of our volunteers, Volunteer Leaders, and the people we serve is our top priority. We are working with our Community Partners to ensure that state & city guidance is followed to slow the spread of COVID-19. Read about our Safety Requirements.
About this project: My Brother's Table is a soup kitchen in Lynn that serves free meals to anyone who comes to their door in need. They are open 365 days a year and believe hospitality is just as important as the food they serve. They served over 204,000 free meals last year alone. Everyone is welcome at My Brother's Table.
Volunteers help with a variety of tasks every day of the year, but right now My Brother's Table needs volunteers to help prepare meals, and package and distribute the meals to go. Volunteers are welcome to sign-up for multiple shifts on the same day if their schedule allows.
Serving meals during COVID-19: My Brother's Table has switched to all meals to go and are only allowing a few guests into their large dining room at a time to allow for appropriate distancing. They have extended their hours to minimize the lines and rush of guests. As a licensed restaurant, they follow all safe food handling practices which include: constant sanitation of surfaces, hand sanitizing stations, hand washing sink, hats and gloves, and a prohibition against sick staff from entering the workplace. They have changed the way their guests enter their dining room and the way that they distribute the meals to ensure that they are following CDC social distancing recommendations. Volunteers will be helping prepare meals, package meals in to go containers and distribute those meals to their guests. They provide gloves and a place to wash hands frequently and they do have several reusable masks that they wash after every use if you need one. Please bring and plan to wear your own mask or face covering if you have one.
Parking and directions: this project takes place in Lynn, MA. There is parking onsite. Please sign up for a shift below and you will be sent the exact address.
Youth-Friendly: Ages 10 and up welcome (children aged 10-11 must be accompanied by an adult).
