Eight- twelve volunteers are needed to prepare food and serve approximately 75 Youth Haven resident children and staff members.
During our BBQ, the Youth Haven staff will be overseeing a variety of yard games and court activities with the kids. We will be supporting them in many of their activities. Positive interaction with the kids is encouraged. We can all make a difference with the kids at Youth Haven.
The cooks for the BBQ will be Capt'n Ron and J.R. Some of the volunteer tasks will involve serving the hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, beverages and sheet cake and ice cream. All of the food is being supplied from the Wine Tasters of Naples charity fund.
We are encouraging our volunteers to wear a comfortable costume if you have one (even a shirt & hat). We are trying to avoid any real scary outfits due to the fragile situations involving some of their younger residents. A "Super Hero" or "American Hero" theme is suggested. Capt'n Ron has a few t-shirts with the Captain America design. You many contact him if you think that would work. It would be nice, also, if anyone has any extra Autumn decorations that we could use on eight of their picnic tables.
Feel free to contact Capt'n Ron if you have any questions about this opportunity at 941.815.5889.
This volunteer commitment is for 4 hours. Absolutely no experience is required! You will love this day!
All volunteers must be Wine Tasters of Naples members. Memberships are available at: Membership Application
