Volunteers needed this winter to feed unhoused folks

Every winter, The Bangor Area Homeless Shelter provides overnight emergency shelter to people living outside during the winter access to a safe warm place to get a hot dinner and dry clothes. The Warming Center opens December 7, 2024, and closes March 15, 2025. We need volunteers to cook or serve dinner for 40 people which is 2 disposable roasting pans worth of food. Dinner is served at 7 pm every night.

Option 1:  Cook a main course dinner at home and drop it off at the Shelter. We serve 40 people a night – two turkey sized aluminum pans worth of food. Volunteer Hours: Drop off the meal between 8 am and 4:30 pm.

Option 2:  Heat up the pre-cooked dinner in our shelter kitchen and serve dinner at 7 pm to people who are literally living outside on the streets of Bangor.  Volunteer Hours: 5:30 pm to 8 pm. (* 1 to 3 volunteers fit in our kitchen at a time.)

Option 3: Cook and serve 7 pm dinner for 40 people in our shelter kitchen. Volunteer Hours: 5:15 pm to 8 pm. (* 1 to 3 volunteers fit in our kitchen at a time.)

* We gladly accept donations of ground coffee, powered creamer, hand and foot warmers, gloves, sweatpants, hoodies, coats, paper plates and cups, and utensils.
