American Cancer Society

As a Cooking Up Hope volunteer, you're doing more than preparing a meal—you’re serving comfort, care, and a taste of home to cancer patients far from theirs. 

Whether you’re cooking from scratch or bringing a favorite dish, you’re filling more than plates—you’re filling hearts. 

Your generosity brings warmth, nourishment, and moments of connection that mean the world to our guests.

How You Can Help:

• Bring Breakfast, Lunch, or Supper: Meals can be homemade or purchased - your choice!
• One-Time or Recurring: Whether you want to volunteer once or regularly, we’re happy to work with your schedule.
• Great for Groups: Perfect for families, friends, coworkers, or community groups to cook together and serve in our community kitchens.
• Fully Equipped Kitchens: We provide all the pots, pans, and utensils you’ll need - you just bring the ingredients.

Teens 14-18 are able to volunteer and provide a meal, as long as they have an adult supervisor.
