MEAL DONATIONS
Annually, between November 15 and March 15, while Right Track Resource Center operates the Warming Station, we aim to provide a hot meal to every one of our guests. In fact, our dinners are available to any community member in need, even those who choose not to stay the night. This is all thanks to our remarkable team of volunteer meal donors.
Interested in providing a meal? Click the buttons below and connect with staff by emailing them your completed forms.
Q: I've never cooked for that many people before and I'm not sure if I'll get it right
A: Many of our dinner volunteers team up and cook together. We would be happy to connect you to a more experienced volunteer to get you started!
Q: I want to help, but I don't know if I can afford the grocery bill.
A: Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals, we strive to keep our kitchen stocked with ingredients just waiting to be prepared!
Q: Is there any training or paperwork I need to fill out?
A: Yes, and they are simple and straightforward. We can help you navigate a food handler's license and benevolent donor form, or you can click the buttons here:
VOLUNTEER WITH US!
Did you know RTRC's Warming Station is staffed from 5:30 PM - 7:30 AM, seven days a week,
November through March, entirely by volunteers?
​
It's true! So when we say we couldn't do what we do without our entire team, we mean it. We also need volunteers to help operate our SUMMERTIME, DAYTIME operations!
Right Track Resource Center volunteers are a diverse bunch of do-gooders. Our team includes retired school teachers, EOU students, working parents with young children, former guests, and many more. If you would like to join our team of superheroes sans capes, we would love to have you!
