Share Hot Meals provides daily, free meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) to the public, 365 days each year. And those who enjoy the meals are not limited to Outreach and shelter clients. They also include individuals and families who are working, but who are still not able to make enough money to make ends meet. Much of the food used in the program is donated by area grocery stores and is prepared each day by volunteers and staff.

Volunteering for Share Hot Meals: Preparation & Serving

Volunteers come from all over Clark County to assist in the kitchen. Much of the food used in the program is donated by area grocery stores and is prepared each day by volunteers and staff.

Time commitment is 2-4 hours; frequency is determined according to the volunteer schedule and varies according to meal and shelter location. Volunteers work alongside our staff and residents to help prepare and serve meals in our Hot Meal Program. Individuals as well as groups are welcome.

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income Americans, including elderly people, by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. Through TEFAP, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) purchases a variety of nutritious, high-quality USDA Foods, and makes those foods available to State Distributing Agencies.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits.  Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.  Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.
