Volunteer: Friday Restaurant Volunteers (Spring 2026)On most Friday mornings we transition our community center into a restaurant for the Harrisonburg community to enjoy. It serves as an on-going fundraiser for Our community Place, as well as a means of engagement with our local community. The Friday Lunch Restaurant is run by OCP staff, volunteers, and people who receive services from our organization. Restaurant skills are a plus but not required. We train new volunteers each week. The restaurant itself is only open for two hours: 11:30am-1:30pm. The 9:45am-2:30pm shift includes the weekly meeting, set-up time, running the restaurant, eating together after the restaurant is finished, and then cleanup. Volunteers must sign up or notify staff ahead of time during the week that they want to volunteer. Volunteers may not show up on the day of without prior notice. Volunteer orientation is required before starting. Orientation is 30-45 minutes. It is available in-person or via Zoom. Our in-person meeting takes place in our Yellow House office at 80 East Johnson Street, Harrisonburg. We look forward to working with you!
