Volunteers are always welcomed! If you can cook, clean, pack lunches, stay up all night (or doze lightly in a chair), or pray, we want you on the Team! Cooks donate and prepare food for about 35 to 4o guests, staff, and volunteers. Dinner starts at 6:00 pm. After dinner, the cooks clean up kitchen area. The cost is about $100.00; however, some funds are available to assist those who do not have the financial resources to purchase the food. Hosts – the evening and overnight assistants – work in two shifts. The Evening Hosts come in at 5:00 pm and stay until 12:00 midnight. They will help serve food to the residents. The host will also get anything from the kitchen that a guest may need. After dinner they can sit and talk or play games with the residents. The Overnight Hosts begin at 12:00 midnight and stay until 8:00 am the next morning. These persons help with any issues that may happen overnight. You may bring a book to read or rest on the sofa for the night. The Overnight Hosts help with breakfast between 6:00 and 7:00 am. This includes heating up a prepared dish in the oven or putting out a cold breakfast. You may also be asked to make coffee. Contact Greg LaCour at food.services@baumc.com for more information or to volunteer. Our financial commitment to Welcome One comes solely through donations.
