Our first community-hosted dinner — a free Taco Night and World Cup watch party for families across the Arcadia and Pasadena area. Fresh tacos, the games on the screen, and everyone welcome. Cook with us in the morning, serve in the afternoon, or bring your whole family to eat.
See RecapOur second feeding event — 80 fresh, from-scratch sweet potato burger plates made at Union Station Homeless Services in Pasadena. Cooked at the Family Center, served at both the Family Center and the Adult Center. Grass-fed smashed patties, sweet potato waffle buns, chimichurri, and a Greek yogurt aioli. Beverages by Leisure Hydration.
See RecapOur very first meal. Eight volunteers made 86 fresh, from-scratch meals to families living in unstable housing — beef kefta, basmati rice, and tabbouleh.
See RecapEach event has a few different volunteer roles. Pick the one that fits — exact times for each role are listed on the event page.
Help prepare fresh, from-scratch meals in our partner kitchens. Cooking shifts typically start late morning and run through the afternoon (about 5–6 hours). Real ingredients, no seed oils — we cook everything ourselves.
Be a friendly face at our events. Help plate and distribute meals, connect with families, and make people feel seen. Serving shifts run during evening dinner service (about 2–3 hours).
Volunteers age 18+ can sign up directly. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All volunteers complete a brief registration, waiver, and online orientation through our partner portal at Union Station.
