Time Commitment: 1.5 hours on Wednesdays
Time: 11:00am - 12:30am
HT Thrift Elementary, outside of the Storage rooms / gym doors. Please check in at the office first.
Each Hot Lunch shift requires at least two volunteers to make sure the shift goes smoothly.
When entering the school for your shift, please sign in at the office in the Visitor Sign-In binder
The binder will be at the office window
This is for safety purposes so the school knows who comes in and out, as well as if there is a fire drill they need to know who is on the property
If you are the first volunteer there, please ask Mrs. Randle for the key to the storage rooms where the tables and bins are stored
If you are unsure where they are, Mrs. Randle may be able to show you or explain where to go
Mrs. Randle will also provide you with the Hot Lunch lists for each division. Please bring those to the storage rooms along with the key.
Storage Rooms (Girls and Boys Locker Rooms) are located outside the far gym doors
Please grab 4 tables and set them out along the walls beside the gym doors
Please grab all the division bins and clipboards out of the other storage room and set them out on the tables (1 through 15)
Take the Hot Lunch lists for each division and place them in the corresponding clipboards
There should be pens/pencils around as well if you need to cross-reference the list while organizing the food
Food should already be delivered in the hallway outside the gym by the vendor by the time you arrive, or shortly after
Only exception is COBS Bread - someone has to go pick up the food from COBS directly, and the bins are generally delivered to COBS the day before. Please speak with Jana (our Hot Lunch Coordinator) for more information on COBS orders, and if you are available to help with this pick-up/drop-off.
Go through the food delivered by the vendor and place each item in the appropriate bin by division
Each item will have a division number and name of the student on it
Cross check the items on the hot lunch lists to check for any discrepancies (item not received, item doubled up, etc)
The bell will ring at 11:40am, and there will be a line-up of students waiting to assist with Hot Lunch deliveries
Ask that students bring back the bins and deliver the food to each individual desk
Any leftovers/extras or food that is returned because the student is away, please deliver to Mrs. Randle in the office
Any bins not delivered to classes before 12:05 will need to be done so by a Hot Lunch Volunteer
There is a map with all class numbers and divisions that can help guide you to the right class room
Once all food is delivered and all bins have been returned:
Pack up the vendor bags/boxes to be picked up by the vendor (or in some cases, they will need to be returned by a volunteer)
Put away the bins in the storage room on the shelves
Put away the tables in the other storage room
Lock the storage room doors with the key and deliver the key back to Mrs. Randle
Sign out of the school in the same binder
