Our most regular shifts are Soup Kitchen Breakfasts from 6-10:30AM. On Thursdays, we host a food pantry with two shifts – one from 7-11AM (Chinese speakers only), and another from 9-11AM. Take Back the Kitchen shifts vary throughout the week, but happen in four hour blocks. Garden and farm volunteer days also vary and happen in shifts between two and four hours.

Haley House volunteers participate in a variety of tasks! If you are in our soup kitchen or Take Back the Kitchen program, you will do food preparation, cook, serve food, help with clothing distribution, and clean. Food pantry volunteers help distribute and organize food to be shared out. Garden and farm volunteers do various gardening tasks including moving soil/compost, picking up trash, weeding, harvesting and planting. There may be other tasks and responsibilities that arise on the job – Haley House volunteers come with an open mind and eagerness to help wherever possible.
