    - Serve -

    We ask all volunteers to come hungry and plan on eating with our guests!

  • Suggested Donation for Volunteers - Our suggested donation is $10 per person, we are almost completely funded though those donations. The $10 covers the volunteer's meal as well as the meals for two of our guests. If that's a hardship we just ask that people do what they can!

  • Volunteer Orientation - Every Tuesday at 6:30 pm we do a new volunteer orientation at our Carlsbad location. It's important that those helping know our values.

  • Individual Volunteers - If you are interested in volunteering at Fill-A-Belly, e-mail us at fillabelly@yahoo.com to see if we have space on a given Tuesday night. We love having new people!

  • Volunteer Groups - We enjoy hosting volunteer groups of all ages, from youth through senior citizens. We book groups ahead of time to make sure that we only have one new group on a given night. In order to see which weeks are available contact us at fillabelly@yahoo.com.

  • Volunteer Cooks - For those interested in helping to prepare our meals we start cooking around 4 pm at St. Michaels by the Sea in Carlsbad.
