🌟 Calling All Businesses & Teams: Unite for a Delicious Cause! 🌟
The Serve is a wholly volunteer led organisation that is committed to serving evening meals 365 days a year to those in the community who are in need, underprivileged, on low income or going through genuine hardship. With a no judgement policy our doors are always open whether you need a meal tonight, tomorrow night or every night we are here for our community.

About The Opportunity
We rely on the kindness and generosity of local businesses, organisations, churches, whaanau and volunteers to prepare meals for our daily meal service from First Church Frankton every night at 5pm. Our team—while small and mighty—needs more help to cook nutritious meals for our community! With your teams support, together, we can nourish the souls of those who need it most.

How It Works:

🗓 Choose A Date: Organise a date with us that you would like to prepare a meal, and we’ll add you to our roster.

🎯 Plan With Us: Need supplies? Or perhaps you need to book a kitchen to cook your meals? Talk to one of our team and we can arrange something to support you with this. We can also suggest some suitable meal options too if needed.

🍲 Cook & Contribute: As a team, you will need to prepare and package 60-150 nutritious meals (depending on the date chosen) ready to deliver and serve at the evening meal service at 5pm.

💖See The Impact: After all your hard work, come and meet the community who will benefit from your generosity. Introduce your team, share a message of hope and have your team distribute the meals to the grateful recipients. Your team’s effort will have a lasting impact not just for the community, but for your team too!

This can be a one-off cook or we can arrange for your team to cook several times throughout the year—every meal helps!

Requirements:

As The Serve Trust does not currently have its own premises to cook from, all meals need to be prepared and packaged offsite.

  • Meals to be cooked and packaged at a site arranged by you
  • Shifts for set up and service are from 4:45 PM to 5:30 PM
  • Meals should be pre-packaged, hot and ready to serve by 5:00 PM
  • Meals are served at the front entrance of First Church, 11 King Street, Frankton at 5PM daily.
  • If you could provide at least 4 people to help serve the meals, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, we can arrange for other volunteers to help serve the meal on your behalf.

Need to hire a kitchen to cook your meals? You can arrange to book First Church’s kitchen (for a fee).
