Provide-A-Meal Volunteers

Provide-A-Meal (PAM) volunteers make it possible for SOME to serve breakfast and lunch to more than 800 children, women, and men each day. This is a wonderful opportunity for groups from churches, synagogues, mosques, businesses and civic organizations to serve on a regular basis.

There are several different ways to provide a meal as a PAM group:

Bring in pre-made casseroles (40 to 60 casseroles in 9x12 aluminum pans will provide lunch for 300-400 people)
Bring ingredients and cook a full meal in SOME's kitchen
Purchase food through one of SOME's wholesalers, which SOME staff and volunteers can prepare

PAM volunteers are not required to stay and serve the meal they provide, but they are more than welcome to do so.

We help with menu suggestions, food quantities and a list of wholesale food distributors. There is also the option to share a day with another group or to provide part of a meal.

Currently, SOME is looking for Provide-A-Meal volunteers to help with the following days:

Breakfast

5th Monday of the month
2nd Wednesday of the month (February, April, June, August, October, December)
