The Meaning of Volunteering at Culinary Angels

Working alongside others who generously give their time and energy to a greater cause is a truly rewarding experience. At Culinary Angels, volunteers come together with open hearts to prepare and deliver healing meals to individuals facing cancer.

There’s a unique joy in knowing that vegetables scrubbed on Monday become hearty Italian Vegetable Soup by Wednesday, or that 38 pounds of organic turkey are transformed into nourishing casseroles for our recipients and their caregivers.

Our volunteers are the heart of our mission.
The spirit of friendship and community is ever-present throughout our meal process. We invite you to join one of our incredible teams and help us deliver love and nourishment—one meal at a time

Choose love and stay in gratitude

Kitchen Protocols

Food safety and kitchen security are a top priority throughout all the steps in our operations. We communicate protocols in daily meetings with kitchen personnel and through email updates. Signage in the kitchen provides food safety and proper sanitation reminders. Team Leads are available to answer questions and monitor the food and personal safety guidelines we proudly maintain at the heart of our operation.

Policies and procedures comply with the Department of Environmental Health and Cal-OSHA protocols. Volunteers are required to pass a background check, obtain a California Food Handler card, and agree to the food safety, sanitation protocols, and personal hygiene guidelines stated below:

Safety Requirements:

  • Proper storage of all ingredients
  • Use antimicrobial vegetable washing stations, handwashing, and sanitizing protocols
  • Time and food temperature controls
  • Logging of required data throughout the meal preparation process
  • Wear gloves while handling food
  • Use hair nets, face masks, and aprons; wear long pants and close-toed shoes
