A heartfelt thank you to Myron and his team from Running Room Victoria! His generous donation of electrolyte water, fresh fruit, and gently used running shoes go a long way in supporting our guests. We’re so grateful for this thoughtful act of care and we couldn’t do what we do without friends like Myron in the community!

Today we want to recognize one of our incredible volunteers, Paula 🎉

Her kindness, steady dedication, and positive energy have made a lasting impact on our community over the years. We are truly grateful for all she has given and continues to give.

Volunteer Appreciation Week Spotlight: Community Care in Every Cut

Good vibes, great cuts, and community care 💈
Once a month, Gary the Barber joins us at Rainbow Kitchen to offer free haircuts for our guests. His time, skill, and generosity go far beyond a trim.

These moments help restore dignity, confidence, and comfort. Access to basic services like a haircut is something many of our guests may not otherwise have, and Gary helps make that possible in a meaningful way.

We are deeply grateful for his continued support and the care he brings to our community ✂️

🌈🧁 Volunteer Appreciation Week Spotlight: School Meal Program “Triple Threat” 🧁🌈

This week, we are celebrating just a few of the amazing people who help make Rainbow Kitchen what it is 💛

Rachel has been part of our School Meal Program for the past year, helping package muffins and prepare veggie packs for local schools. Her steady dedication helps ensure students receive nourishing food they can count on 🌈

Christine joins us twice a week, showing up with kindness and consistency. She first got involved after her daughter encouraged her to volunteer and has stayed ever since, loving the connection, the community, and the chance to give back in a hands-on way 💛

Fiona brings a calm, joyful energy to the kitchen. She volunteers because supporting kids in our school program truly brings her happiness. Outside of Rainbow Kitchen, she enjoys time with family and friends and can often be found with a good book 📚

We are so grateful for each of you and for all our Rainbow Kitchen volunteers who show up with heart every week. You make this work possible 💫

🌈🍴 During Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re especially excited to share some wonderful news from Rainbow Kitchen!

We’ve created a brand new volunteer role that is already helping us rescue even more food than ever before. Thanks to this expanded support, our team is able to process and store greater volumes of rescued food, turning it into nourishing meals for our community.

This work is only possible because of our incredible volunteers. From the kitchen to behind the scenes, your time, care, and commitment make everything we do possible. We are so grateful for each and every one of you.

We’re also continuing to grow our farm and food rescue connections to keep this impact going. If you know someone who may be able to support this work, please reach out to Tracy at [email protected]

Together, we are building something stronger, kinder, and more sustainable every day.

This National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we celebrate the incredible heart of Rainbow Kitchen 💛

From our dishwashers and pot scrubbers to our chefs and the amazing people who help keep our garden and community spaces clean and welcoming, every single one of you plays a vital role in what we do.

We truly could not feed our community the way we do without your time, care, and commitment. You are the reason Rainbow Kitchen feels like family.

This week and every week, we thank you for showing up with kindness, compassion, and dedication.

And while we shine a light on our Rainbow Kitchen volunteers, we also want to celebrate all volunteers everywhere who give their time to strengthen their communities. You make the world a better place 💛

Thank you from all of us at Rainbow Kitchen.

Volunteer spotlight for our Wednesday dream team 💛

Mike has been volunteering with us for over five years, and Elena joined more than three years ago. They’ve been a team since her very first day and still genuinely love working side by side.

They bring incredible energy to the kitchen. They’re always smiling, always supporting each other, and occasionally playfully disagreeing about saffron. It’s that mix of teamwork, care, and personality that makes our kitchen such a special place.

At Rainbow Kitchen, volunteers are the heart of everything we do. With the support of just over 200 volunteers, we prepare and serve nearly 250,000 meals each year across our programs. From chefs to dishwashers to food rescue drivers and sorters, every role matters and every person makes a difference.

Mike and Elena are a perfect example of the dedication, connection, and community spirit that keeps our doors open.

Interested in volunteering? Reach out to [email protected] to get involved.
