Volunteer Opportunities In Austin, TX

Our Shared Kitchen prepares and delivers freshly made meals to the homeless and food insecure.
Volunteers can assist in all parts of our meal service.

Prepare Meals for the Homeless and Food Insecure

Meal preparation volunteers are crucial to our mission. Volunteers prepare, cook and package individual meals for our hot meal delivery service. The dishes we prepare change on a weekly basis, so each shift is different.

Food Pickup & Delivery

We partner with local surplus food organizations like Keep Austin Fed and Save the Food Austin to source free ingredients for our meals, enabling us to simultaneously reduce food waste and redistribute the rescued items. Volunteers will pickup food donations and transport it to our commercial kitchen at Prep ATX.
