Volunteer

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP IS LIVE!

Thanksgiving for Paso Robles is organized and executed 100% by volunteers. We expect a large turnout this year again and your assistance is needed more than ever. There’s a lot to do! We have to raise the money to buy the food, pick it up, prepare it, and serve it. And, of course, we need to prepare the space to do all of this. There’s pre-cleaning, decorating, setting tables, bussing, and more cleaning.

This is a huge endeavor, imagine opening a restaurant to serve 1,500 meals in one day; we have to know that staff is scheduled for each and every job. Therefore, we insist that all volunteers pre-register; No walk-in volunteers, please. All volunteers must be 14 years of age or older; to work in the kitchen you must be at least 16 years or older. We do have opportunities for families with children. Children can help decorate carryout boxes and families with children are encouraged to sign up to deliver meals.

There’s lots to do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Thanksgiving week. It takes about 200 people working nearly 1200 man-hours to put on Thanksgiving for Paso Robles each year.
