Overview
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at The Road Home's Gail Miller Resource Center. We are grateful for your support! This facility provides meals, shelter, and other resources for up to 250 guests. We are open 24/7, 365 days a year for our guests and provide three meals each day. This opportunity invites individuals and small community groups to serve lunch at GMRC for shifts of 2 hours. You will assist kitchen staff in preparing and serving meals, preparing to-go meals for on-the-move guests, sanitizing/cleaning the kitchen, doing dishes, and more. Lunch is served every day from 11:30 am-1:30 pm.
Requirements
All volunteers must be at least 12 years old and wear closed-toed shoes. Volunteers under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. All volunteers will be asked to wear a hairnet (provided), a beanie, or a ballcap worn backwards. A food handlers permit is not required to participate in this opportunity. This facility can accommodate 5 volunteers per shift in the kitchen.
Directions and Parking
We are located at 242 W Paramount Ave. in Salt Lake City.
From our front parking lot, you will see a gate at the north end of the lot. Approach the gate and use the call box to let our front desk know you are here to volunteer. Follow the road around the building to our back parking lot and park in any open stall. If volunteering with a group, please consider carpooling, as parking can be limited.
Please note that sometimes, map apps incorrectly route volunteers to an entrance on High Ave. but this is not a public entrance and you will not be able to enter. Please be sure to enter via our public entrance on Paramount Ave.
To enter the building, please follow the volunteer signs located in the back of the building. If the door is unlocked, or the garage door open, you are welcome to simply enter the building and head to the kitchen or warehouse. If the door is locked, please ring the doorbell located to the left of the door.
If you need to cancel your shift, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. For help canceling a shift, or for any other questions, please contact us at volunteer@theroadhome.org
