Needs From: Togetherhood

Volunteer: Morning Kitchen Team (Shadow Shift)

Why This Matters

Since Hurricane Helene, Baptists on Mission has been serving Western North Carolina by rebuilding and repairing homes. Every volunteer who swings a hammer or clears debris begins their day with a meal prepared by this kitchen.

When you serve here, you are not “helping in a kitchen.”
You are fueling the rebuilding of our community.

If the meals stop, the work slows. Your role directly impacts how many homes get restored.

What You’ll Do (Shadow Shift – Training Focus)

This is a learning shift designed to onboard consistent volunteers into the rhythm of the kitchen. You will:

Shadow the Kitchen Manager and experienced volunteers

Assist in preparing breakfast

Help assemble sandwiches for volunteer lunches

Set out and serve meals

Support kitchen cleanup and reset

You will not be left alone to figure it out. This is structured learning with hands-on responsibility.

Who This Is For

We are looking for dependable YMCA members with basic cooking confidence — not professional chefs, but individuals comfortable preparing food without constant supervision.

This is best suited for someone who:

Wants to commit consistently

Takes ownership

Understands that small details (timing, prep, cleanliness) matter

Spots are limited to build a reliable team.

If you want to directly strengthen the people rebuilding Swannanoa — this is where you start.
