Dinner Cook Teams

Help Chef Shawn prepare dinner for 80!  No experience required and NO DISHES to wash! We have a fully functioning Industrial Kitchen with walk-in fridge/freezer, 6 burner gas stove, double oven and large convection oven. Through our partnership with MANNA and Publix, the fridge is always stocked with chicken, ground beef and other proteins. There is also plenty of fresh produce as well.

Dinner is served in the Dining Room and Family Dorm at 6 pm each night. We also pack to go boxes for non-residents to pick up after dinner is served to our residents.

Cook Teams bring 2-5 helpers, start prepping around 4:00 pm, ask grace at 5:50 and serve at 6:00. We encourage our teams to eat the meal and visit with our residents until 6:30. Your gift of presence means more than you know! Pathways residents are blessed by a thriving chaplain ministry, so our cook teams can simply enjoy table fellowship with our residents over the meal they have prepared.

Our Kitchen Manager, Chef Shawn, is on-site to help as needed. Cook Team leads can contact Chef Shawn prior to their scheduled cooking night to plan the menu and allow Chef Shawn to pull the ingredients, and, of course, you can bring your own items if preferred. If you prefer to just show up and cook what Shawn has planned, you can do that too!

This is a great opportunity for all levels of expertise and age groups. No clean up necessary since the residents take responsibility for leftovers and cleaning.
