Is there a "best" day to volunteer at the soup kitchen? Also, what time is best to show up to help with lunch. I was thinking it was around 10:30. Is that about right?

The Crew appreciates help any day, and when I was there last they began serving around 10:30, so if possible get there early so they can meet you and give you an assignment...then stay late and help wash dishes!!!
Last I asked it seemed Fridays they need help. Nurse BethQuote:

I met Andrea first and she told me when to come back the next day. I met Miss Pearl and Vernica and Mr Monday, as well as other "staff" and volunteers.
A great experience!!!!
We helped out on a Wed as we were told they are usually short staffed that day. We passed out tickets for lunch and helped serve.
Mondays are also a busy day as Ms Pearl goes to Sav for all of the veggies on Friday....Monday everything gets cut and chopped to use for the week. They are a wonderful group of folks and are very appreciative of any help they get.
I agree with Livin...it is a great experience!!
