What to Expect When You Volunteer at Every Meal

 

What to Wear

  • Close-toed shoes are required to protect your feet.
  • Dress in layers -- the temperature in our warehouse fluctuates with the temperatures outside.
  • We recommend no jewelry.
  • Masks are currently not required but are encouraged if that is your preference. See our Volunteer Health & Safety page for more information.

Where to Park

  • Our address is 2723 Patton Road, Roseville, MN 55113
  • As you turn off of Patton Road toward our building, follow the two signs around to the west side of the building.
  • Look for the Every Meal branding on the building and enter through the double doors under the awning.
  • The door will remain locked until 15-20 minutes before the event begins.

For All Volunteer Opportunities

  • There are hangers, cubbies, and lockers for your belongings.
  • You will get a name tag so we can better work together as a group.

For Packing Events

  • As you come in the door you will be met by our Volunteer Coordinator who will take your name and check you in or have you fill out a Volunteer Release Form.
    • Parents/guardians must complete and sign a paper form for minors.
    • Adults volunteering for the first time must complete either a digital form or a paper form.
  • Once everyone has arrived we will begin a quick introduction and orientation in the training room before heading to the packing floor.

For Administrative or Warehouse Opportunities

  • Ring the doorbell and an Every Meal employee will greet you and direct you to a check-in kiosk.
  • They will then bring you to the where you will be volunteering that day.
