We are part of the Athens Ohio Free Community Meals Network, a large committee built from organizations like Athens Food Rescue, Cat’s Cupboard/OU Basic Needs Office, Community Food Initiative (CFI), First Presbyterian Church of Athens, HAPCAP, and Rural Action’s Zero Waste Project.

Volunteer
Help serve a hot, nutritious meal. This opportunity is great for individuals, classes, residence hall activities, campus or community organizations. Since we started serving meals in 1993, volunteers have worked together to plan, prepare, set-up, serve, and clean up afterward. Volunteers make a HUGE difference! Individuals can sign up through GivePulse, or you are always welcome to email connect@ucmathens.org to sign up yourself or your group. Thank you!
