Group Projects
Groups can serve lunch at 12:30 or dinner at 6 pm on most days. Your group can also work on a service project for a couple of hours before or after the meal if you want to stay longer. For most projects, 10-12 volunteers is plenty, but we can also arrange some special projects for larger groups.
Some common group activities include:
- Work Projects (painting, cleaning, sorting donations, stuffing mail, etc)
