Volunteer

Every day at the Community Dining Room, when the hungry and often lonely come to have a hot meal served by volunteers, they find nutrition for the body and spirit. And fellowship as they share their meals with others, all of whom are served with dignity.

The Community Dining Room in Branford serves a growing population of hungry in every shoreline town from East Haven, Branford, North Branford, and Guilford. More than 4,500 each month come for that meal.
 

The Community Dining Room hosts mandatory Volunteer Orientation quarterly on the 2nd Monday from

5;00 PM - 6:00 PM. The orientation alternates between in-person and Zoom. 

 

Please contact Gleeson or click here to register.

Every Donation Matters

The Community Dining Room relies on your donations to make our mission possible. Every donated item is critical to keeping our food costs down.

We hope to keep our shelves stocked year-round. Please consider conducting a food drive with your neighborhood, school, church, team, organization, etc. Contact our Program Coordinator for further information and see our Healthy Food Donation List below.
