VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
There are several ways for volunteers to contribute to the Sulzbacher Center. For more information about supporting our meal program, community service, or our volunteer application process, please see below.
Feed the hungry
The Sulzbacher Center is the only place in Northeast Florida that serves 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to anyone who is hungry. That adds up to over 427,000 nutritious meals each year, half of which are provided by Volunteer Meal Groups from our community. But there are still hundreds of opportunities for new groups to support our meal program. Businesses, religious groups and civic organizations are all welcome in the Sulzbacher Center kitchen.
As a Volunteer Meal Group, you will immediately see the impact of your generosity in the grateful faces of the men, women and children who walk through our serving line. A warm meal, a safe place to sleep and caring support from staff and volunteers - these simple things transform lives every day at the Sulzbacher Center.
In addition to helping prepare and serve a meal, Volunteer Meal Groups make a donation to cover the cost of the meal. In spite of rising food costs, meals at the Sulzbacher Center are still a bargain. For just one dollar per plate, we feed every hungry man, woman and child who stands in line at meal time. For only $300 you can serve breakfast to 300 people. $400 is all it costs to serve lunch to 400, and $500 provides dinner for 500 people.

Community Service Volunteers
Opportunities for individuals who wish to volunteer in order to complete hours that have been mandated by a school or other entity are limited and are accepted on a case by case basis. Generally, an individual needs to have at least an eight week window from the time they begin the application process to the time they must have their hours completed. Please note that we can not accommodate court ordered community service. Contact Allison at (904) 394-8082 or AllisonVega@tscjax.org for more information.
Individual Volunteers
Individual volunteers are an integral part of our organization and we always welcome new people. Individuals who wish to volunteer for their own personal reasons with no institutional obligation should request a volunteer packet, that will detail the volunteer application process and current volunteer opportunties, by clicking on the link below.
