Step 1 - Read the guidelines
VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES:
If you are ill, feeling under the weather, or have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we will ask that you do not come in for your shift. Face masks and hand sanitizer will be provided for all volunteers. Any updates to our COVID-19 policy will be communicated.
If for any reason you cannot make your scheduled shift, you MUST call to let us know prior to your shift starting (419-418-2233) and leave a voicemail. If you do not show up for your shift and fail to notify the cafe in advance, the cafe may choose not to schedule you for future shifts.
Please arrive at your scheduled time - it is not necessary to arrive early unless you are coming in for lunch before an afternoon shift.
We require shoes that cover the entire foot (no flip-flops or sandals of any kind).
Please wear your hair tied back, and do not wear jewelry while volunteering in the kitchen.
You must wear a shirt with sleeves - no tank tops or sleeveless shirts. We recommend long pants to help prevent burns or cuts - this is a commercial kitchen with inherent hazards. The kitchen is small and can get warm and messy - please dress accordingly.
All volunteers must be 15 or older to volunteer without a parent. For all volunteers under the age of 18, one must have a volunteer waiver (Release and Hold Harmless Agreement) signed by a parent or guardian prior to their first shift.
Our address is 325 N. Michigan St. Toledo, OH. SAME Cafe is located inside the Lucas County Main Library. The patio entrance is located off of Madison Street. There is underground and street parking available.
Every volunteer does every job here, from taking out the trash to washing dishes. Please be flexible and ready for anything!
THANK YOU! We look forward to working with you and appreciate your help at SAME Cafe!
