About Pine Street Inn: Pine Street Inn partners with homeless individuals to help them move from the streets and shelter to a home, and assists formerly homeless individuals in retaining housing. They provide street outreach, emergency services, supportive housing, job training, and connections to employment. They tirelessly advocate for collaborative solutions to end homelessness.

Opportunity Description: Volunteers will assemble ingredients for shelf-stable, one-pot meals into jars. These meals-in-jars allow clients of Pine Street Inn to prepare quick and easy meals for themselves in supportive housing.
