Opportunity Details
Share A Meal With Our Residents!
For over 40 years, Dismas House of Nashville has served as a beacon of hope for formerly incarcerated men desperately looking for a second chance, and a program that is vital to our success is our Community Dinners! These dinners provide a space for community, love, and acceptance, and we would love for you participate in these dinners with us.
We are always in search of dinner hosts to prepare or deliver dinner for our 30+ hungry residents every Monday through Thursday evening after they return from work or complete the Dismas Programming for the day. Volunteers can prepare a meal in our state-of-the-art kitchen which is cleaned, sanitized, and fully equipped! Volunteers also have the option to prepare a meal at home or order it catered, just be sure to bring it by our facility before 6:00pm. (Any money that you spend on food can be claimed as tax deductible- just ask for a receipt!)
Additionally, we are grateful to have partnerships with Nashville Food Project, Partchwork, and Supprt & Feed who provide fresh, healthy meals for our community on nights where we don't have meals provided by volunteers. We welcome all volunteers to come setup, serve dinner, and get to know the residents while sharing a meal with them. There is no cooking required!
If you feel comfortable, we invite you to join us in our spacious new dining room to enjoy dinner and conversation with our residents from a safe and appropriate distance.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a guaranteed sign up for a specific slot, but rather an "express interest" opportunity. If you express interest in this opportunity, a member of our staff will be in touch to schedule you for an available date on our calendar that best suits you.
