Volunteer: Sponsor a Cottage Meal at the Children’s Home

Our campus is home to group residential cottages where children live and are cared for 24/7 by dedicated Houseparent's.

Preparing meals for a large group three times a day is no small task, and a shared meal can mean more than just nourishment—it creates space for rest, connection, and relationship-building.

You can make a meaningful difference by providing a meal, dessert, or restaurant gift card. Your generosity gives our Houseparent's a much-needed break and allows them to focus more fully on the children in their care.

How You Can Help

1. Cook in Our Kitchen - Use our newly renovated kitchen to prepare a meal onsite with your own ingredients.

2. Bring a Fully Prepared Meal - Drop off a ready-to-serve meal for the children and Houseparent's to enjoy together.

3. Sponsor a Cottage Meal Experience - Deliver a meal directly to a cottage so families can eat together in their home or invite a cottage to dine with your group in our shared dining area.

Timing & Availability

Volunteers may arrive as early as 4:00 PM Dinner is typically served between 5:30–6:00 PM

Meals can be scheduled any night of the week (Thursdays & Fridays work best).

If you’d like to bless one of our cottages with a meal, we would love to hear from you. Thank you for helping create moments of rest, connection, and care.

Volunteer: Food Pantry Assistance (Weekday Afternoons 2-4PM ONLY)

The Emergency Food Pantry at Catholic Charities serves a wide variety of community members, and with that variety comes the need for volunteers to help us maintain it.

Our food pantry is in need of assistance in the afternoons between 2 and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.  

Many of the items donated to us are from churches and local stores. We have canned goods, boxed goods, and hygiene products that need sorting and organizing. We also have freezers where we keep meats and other freezer goods, and those items need to be individually bagged and sorted as well.

Please note: this need is preferrable for a volunteer who is available for an on-going basis, NOT for court-based required community service  A background check will be required for this volunteer position. For more information, contact Carol Alonzo at 806-642-4478 or carol@cclubbock.org
