• Ensure food is prepared, handled, stored, and served in accordance with food-safety standards and organizational procedures.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary kitchen, dining room, food-storage, and work environment.
• Step in to address staffing, volunteer, equipment, supply, or service challenges so operations continue smoothly.
• Help create a welcoming, respectful dining experience for every neighbor served.
• Work closely with the Director of Food Services to maintain consistent quality, cleanliness, and compliance with St. Vincent de Paul standards.
• Support the appropriate use of donated food and supplies, helping minimize waste while meeting operational needs.
• Foster a positive, respectful, mission-centered environment for staff, volunteers, and guests.

Who We're Looking For

• Someone who is dependable, organized, calm under pressure, and comfortable taking ownership of weekend operations.
