~Volunteer Positions~
The Friendship Table is every fourth Wednesday of the month, from September-May.
​ Set up
Time commitment: 3:30-4:00
Set up usually takes two people. These volunteers help set up the tables, put out place mats and silverware, and get the refreshments ready.
​
Greeter
Time commitment: 4:30-6:00
Sit at the sign in table and greet everyone as they come in. Remind them to sign their name and note their age group. Graciously accept donations.
​
Server
Time commitment: 4:30-6:00
Depending on the meal, we could need up to three volunteers to help serve. Servers mostly stay in the kitchen and load up the plates with the food. Must wear hair nets, gloves and aprons.
​
Clean up
Time commitment: 5:30-6:30
Some servers are expected to help with clean up, but we could also use two extra hands for this. They clear off the tables, and put away any extra tables and chairs the church doesn't need out. ​​

If you'd like to help, fill out a volunteer application and we'll add you to our Friendship Table call list!
