During your time in service, you will be preparing hundreds of meals to be delivered to your neighbors experiencing critical and chronic illness in Santa Cruz County. You will be washing, chopping, cooking vegetables and meats (3 out of 4 of our main dishes are vegetarian), learn a variety of cooking techniques, package meals, wash dishes and (of course), cleaning.
