The Center of Hope kitchen feeds both the spirit and bodies of our clients every day.
Because we are a warming kitchen only, volunteers usually prepare meals at home and bring them to the Center.
Whether it’s spaghetti & salad, meatloaf & mashed potatoes, or soup & sandwiches, the meals are served to clients in a restuaruant-style atmosphere in our dining room. Each client receives prayer along with their meal and volunteers have the opportunity to minister to clients over a cup of coffee.
Church groups, businesses, and community groups rotate through our kitchen. An average of 60 meals are served daily at the Weatherford location and 25 meals daily at East Parker County location in Aledo. It usually takes 6-10 kitchen volunteers to take orders, prepare drinks, dish out food, clean tables, etc. Because disposable dishes are used, clean up is minimal. Ministry through the kitchen is a fun and rewarding experience for you, your family, your friends, or your group.
If your friends or community group would like to serve in the kitchen, please contact us to get more information. For very small groups, we have some businesses who will provide the food and you can bring the volunteers. Volunteers who will come to pray with people or help get tea & coffee started and the ovens warming in the mornings are also needed.
Check the website calendar to see when your group is serving next.
