سوالات متداول

What days and times can I volunteer at Kids’ Meals?

شیفت‌های داوطلبان برگزار می‌شود دوشنبه تا جمعه از ساعت ۹:۰۰ صبح تا ۱۲:۰۰ ظهر و ۱:۰۰ بعد از ظهر تا ۳:۳۰ بعد از ظهر. می‌توانید اطلاعات بیشتری در مورد فعالیت‌های داوطلبان و ثبت‌نام برای شیفت کاری را اینجا ببینید.

به دلایل ایمنی و طبق قوانین بهداشتی، همه داوطلبان باید لباس‌های زیر را بپوشند:
-کفش‌های جلو بسته (انگشتان پایتان از شما تشکر خواهند کرد.)

-تور مو یا کلاه – ممکن است فقط در حال آزمایش مهارت‌های ساندویچ‌سازی خود باشید، بنابراین کلاه مورد علاقه‌تان را بیاورید یا یک کلاه غذای کودکان را از مرکز خوشامدگویی تهیه کنید. ممکن است به آن نیازی نداشته باشید، اما بهتر است آماده باشید!

-دستکش یکبار مصرف (در صورت نیاز، این موارد را در محل ارائه خواهیم داد.)

ما معتقدیم که کار داوطلبانه باید یک تجربه خانوادگی باشد. اگر فرزندانی ۸ ساله یا بزرگتر دارید، از آنها استقبال می‌کنیم که بیایند و با شما داوطلب شوند. هر کودک باید حساب کاربری Volunteer Hub مخصوص به خود را داشته باشد و برای شیفت داوطلبانه ثبت نام کرده باشد. در اینجا، کودکان باید همیشه تحت نظارت یک بزرگسال باشند. فقط کودکان ۱۲ سال یا بالاتر می‌توانند در آشپزخانه غذا آماده کنند، اما ما چندین کار دیگر داریم که کودکان ۸ تا ۱۱ سال می‌توانند در آنها کمک کنند.

We understand that plans change! If you are no longer able to volunteer for a scheduled shift, please cancel your registration as soon as possible so your spot can be made available to another volunteer.

Cancel Your Registration in VolunteerHub

  1. Go to the Kids’ Meals VolunteerHub website and log in to your volunteer account.
  2. Click My Schedule to view your upcoming volunteer shifts.
  3. Find the volunteer shift you are unable to attend.
  4. Click Cancel Registration next to the shift.
  5. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
  6. Once completed, the shift should no longer appear as an active registration on your schedule.

 

Why Cancelling Matters
Our volunteer shifts frequently reach capacity and may have other volunteers waiting for an opportunity to serve. When you cancel your registration in advance, your spot becomes available for someone else to help us feed Houston’s preschool-aged children facing food insecurity.

Please do not simply skip your shift if you know you cannot attend.
Taking a moment to cancel your registration helps our team plan appropriately and ensures we can make the most of every available volunteer spot.
