Join our community of volunteers!

Good food brings people together but it takes good people to make it happen. Our volunteers are more than extra hands; they’re part of the community that shapes dough, serves guests, and builds something beautiful in the process. Whether you’re here to learn, connect, or simply lend a hand, you’re welcome at the table.
