Volunteer
Volunteers are so important to what we do. The more we have, the more meals we can prepare and the more efficiently we can make them. Volunteers donate their time to help prepare meals, deliver meals, and clean up our spaces afterwards.
We ask that only current students (ideally middle school or high school) volunteer with us. If it’s your first time volunteering please let us know what school you go to and provide evidence to keep our spaces safe for other volunteers. You can bring any friends you like to our events, the more the merrier! We only need 5-10 volunteers each week making it easy to make that requirement. However, more volunteers help our operations move faster and more efficiently.
If you’re not eligible to volunteer, please consider looking at our donation page. All support helps us provide more meals for our local Bloomington community.
To inquire about volunteering please visit our contact page to learn more information. We don’t have a formal sign up sheet available to the public so in your message please include all relevant details about your eligibility to volunteer as well as when you are available. Our events are always on weekends, primarily Saturday mornings.
Snack Pack Preparing
Come together to meet everyone apart of First Step Bloomington at our snack pack preparing event! We will plan to make 40 snack bags to bring to the Bloomington Boys and Girls Club. Those willing to be in our website and Instagram photos will receive a First Step Bloomington volunteer shirt. Thank you!
First Step Bloomington First Meal Prepping
We successfully made 66 sandwiches with sides for our local Bloomington community. Since it was our first ever event we went to the Wheeler House Men’s Shelter to inquire about where meals are needed the most. We donated our meals to Wheeler House for them to give to their guests directly; ensuring that those who need them the most receive the meals.
