Breakfast Server

Breakfast Servers play a crucial role in starting each guest’s day with warmth and support. As one of the first interactions guests have in the morning, your smile and light conversation can help ease the stress and anxiety many feel when waking up in morning. By serving food and coffee, you set a positive tone that encourages guests and visitors to start their day feeling motivated and cared for as they work toward self-sufficiency.

  • Prepare coffee and set up the breakfast area.
  • Using the food items on hand, plan, heat, and serve a hot, protein-rich breakfast along with continental options like juice, milk, cereal, toast, and fruit, based on availability.
    • Alternatively, some breakfast volunteers choose to provide and serve the menu of their choice.
  • Maintain a clean and organized kitchen by restocking supplies, cleaning dishes, and tidying up after service.

  • Able to greet guests with a friendly, welcoming attitude early in the morning.
  • Comfortable working in the kitchen and planning and serving a simple meal with available ingredients.
