Food for the Soul
What is Food for the Soul?
Food for the Soul seeks to provide genuine connections, soul deep, between students and the local homeless population. We provide an opportunity to foster friendships through visiting Food and Care Coalition on a weekly basis during meal times as you talk with and have a meal with friends who live outside. Our hope is for those who volunteer to learn and grow from the perspectives of the new friends they make. You are welcome to come as often as you would like, and we are excited for chance for you to volunteer with us and have your soul be filled!
How do I get Involved?
Thank you for your interest in serving with Food for the Soul! We currently provide three opportunities each week that you can share a meal with our friends at the Provo Food and Care Coalition:
Wednesdays, 11:00 am-12:00 pm
Thursdays, 4:30-6:00 pm
Fridays, 4:30-6:00 pm
Please click here to sign up for a time to share a meal.
Carpooling is available. If you are interested in driving with other volunteers, please meet at the Wilk roundabout 15 minutes before the event is set to begin. If you would like to drive yourself, please meet at the Provo Food and Care Coalition (99 E 900 S, Provo, UT).
Training:
Please complete this mandatory 25 minute Minor Protection Training before you begin working with this program.
I love being able to listen to someone who needs a friend. It has been so cool to hear about people's accomplishments, interests, and passions, and just be someone they could share it with. I love being able to break down barriers of how our paths have been different and just connect over things that we have in common. It's been a great opportunity to see others more deeply!
