Get Ready for Sycamore Collaborative's 2025 Summer Meals Program!
It’ll be here before we know it—and planning is already underway. This year, instead of focusing on a single week, we're inviting individuals and groups to sign up for one or more specific days to help serve meals. The program will run Tuesday, July 1 through Friday, August 29, with sites open Monday through Friday (except Monday, June 30 and Friday, July 4).
We will have 10 sites this year and we are looking for volunteers to help at the
following 5 sites (however you may sign up for any of the sites on the attached flyers- flyer 1: List with addresses, dates & times, flyer 2: map):
- Tribute Park: volunteer arrival at 11:00AM, lunch service 11:30AM-12:30PM
- Central Park: volunteer arrival at 11:30AM, lunch service 12:00-1:00PM
- Southgate Apartments: volunteer arrival at 11:45AM, lunch service 12:15-1:15PM
- Jerry Burrell Park: volunteer arrival at 11:45AM, lunch service 12:15-:15PM
- Mont Pleasant Library: volunteer arrival at 12:00PM, lunch service 12:30PM- 1:30PM
A few important pieces of information:
- Service and distribution of meals is 1 hour, but we ask volunteers to stay for about 2 hours in order to prep and clean up.
- We will be serving hot meals again this year.
- This can be a group or an individual opportunity. Two volunteers per site per day is ideal. However, if you are part of a group and would like to bring more, that is okay, too.
- We will be hosting a training course for all Summer Meals volunteers. All volunteers are required to complete the training on Tuesday, June 3rd.
- If you cannot attend the training in person, you will be provided with a video that you can watch.
