MLK RJI-TBE Table Volunteer Shift | 8:45 am-11:00 am in the TBE kitchen. Limited to 6 volunteers. To register for this activity, contact Ediss.

RJI volunteers will be preparing a special MLK brunch to be delivered that day to residents of Brie’s House (a transitional home for Returning Citizens) AND helping the TBE Table team prep ingredients for the 330 meals to be delivered on Wednesday, January 17 to our Community Partners.

Important Information for new volunteers:

1. Kitchen Volunteers must be 18 years or older – due to use of chef knives and moving large items in and out of roasting ovens.
2. First-time volunteers must complete a basic Food Handler certification before the shift — an easy 30-75 minute online process. Here is the link for the course – https://www.efoodhandlers.com/Food-Handlers/. Once completed, please send a copy of your certificate to Amy at a.benjamin@comcast.net.
