Opportunities From: Volunteer Hub

The Laramie Soup Kitchen has volunteer opportunities available for students!

Volunteers are an integral part of our operation. They help staff in the kitchen with food preparation, serving, and keeping the space clean and safe for our guests. 

Volunteer hours at the Laramie Soup Kitchen can be used for Community Service, School Requirements, Scholarships, or just because. 

Opportunities available Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. With shifts as short as 1 hour and on average 1.5 hours, we can help accommodate your busy schedule. 

Once you have submitted a volunteer application, it will be reviewed (give us two to three business days), and when approved, you will receive a link to begin signing up for shifts.

To ensure the safety of our guests and staff, and to ensure your volunteer experience is the best it can be, volunteers will be required to sign up for shifts (no walk-in volunteers).
