Be ready with us
Readiness is built long before the call. Volunteer, start a chapter, or put your business behind a deployment.
What volunteering looks like
Volunteer intake and training are run by the nonprofit. Four steps from first contact to being on the roster.
Apply
A short form on the .org, availability, skills, and certifications.
Orientation
What we do, who we serve, and how a deployment is run.
Safety training
Food handling, scene awareness, and the chain of command.
On the roster
You are called by role when a deployment order goes out.
Ready to join the kitchen?
There are three ways in. Pick the one that fits what you can give.
Volunteer
Cook, drive, load, coordinate. We train volunteers ahead of time so the roster is ready when the pager goes off.
