  2. Review the different roles below

  3. Complete the Sign Up form

  4. Get notified that you've been matched with your participant family and other volunteers

  5. If you're matched, you commit to support the preparation and/or delivery of a full, ready-to-reheat meal to the participant on Wednesday, Dec 23 between 10 am and 4 pm

Select a Role

You can sign up for one or a combination of the following roles:

Volunteer Captain (fully remote)

Your job is to ensure that your participating family receives their meal. That means, you will coordinate communication among all volunteers, be the main point of contact to your Participant family, reach out proactively to the JC Holiday Meal Exchange if there's any issues, etc. You lead the team of volunteers for your meal and buck stops with you.

Distributor

Your job is to pick up prepared dishes from your fellow volunteers and deliver them to your participating family via contactless delivery on Wednesday, 12/23 between 10 am and 4 pm.

Volunteer Cook or Baker

Your job is to cook or bake enough servings for the entire participating family (up to 8 people) and ensure it's ready for contactless pickup by the Distributor. You will be able to sign up later for the type of food you'd like to provide (Main, Vegetable, Starch, or Dessert). Visit our Menu Ideas page to get your creative juices flowing.

Donor (fully remote)

The JC Holiday Meal Exchange is connecting neighbors who can provide meals with neighbors who need them. If you are not able to volunteer at this time but would like to help out financially, please sign up as a Donor. We will either connect you to a local caterer to support the cost of a participating family or we will direct you to other local organizations doing similar work.


Notes

  • If you sign up for multiple roles, you could be matched with multiple different families.

  • Please consider a sign up as a commitment for ALL the roles you sign up for.

  • There may be a wait list for any of the roles depending on need.
