Where should the volunteer groups prepare the meals?
For the best logistical reasons, we suggest that all meals be prepared off-site. Kitchen facilities at the We Care Program Turlock CA location may have limited cooking utensils and space to accommodate on-site meal preparation for volunteer groups. Preparing meals in advance ensures a smoother service.

Your volunteer family or group will be responsible for purchasing, preparing, and serving dinner for approximately 50-55 individuals each evening with the We Care Program Turlock CA. This number helps in planning the quantity of food needed.
