25 Days Of Volunteering—Day 11: Soup Kitchen Sous Chefs Wanted

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today's opportunity is volunteering for soup kitchen sous chefs with the Don Bosco Community Center.

From Monday through Thursday, Don Bosco Community Center serves between 80 and 100 people for breakfast and lunch. Volunteers are needed to assist with basic food preparation, such as peeling potatoes and cutting vegetables, as well as serving food. Volunteers can pick any weekdays they'd like and shifts run from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Volunteers will receive guidance from Don Bosco Community Center's chef and staff.
