The Lord’s Diner relies heavily on volunteer support! Our volunteers strengthen our limited staff, help us serve efficiently, and make it possible to offer not only nourishment but genuine hospitality of heart to every guest.
We welcome individuals, families, church or employee groups, and students seeking service hours. Volunteer opportunities can be scheduled as a one-time experience or on a recurring basis—monthly, weekly, daily, or whatever best fits your schedule. While we can’t always guarantee a specific assignment, we’ll do our very best to accommodate your availability and interests.
Our locations you can serve at are:
- Broadway Diner - 520. N. Broadway (Food prep: 10am-Noon) and (5:00pm - 7:30pm)
