Lindenwood Meals at Westy’s
Lindenwood serves hot and nutritious meals to the homeless in our community at Westy’s in downtown Memphis. Volunteers are needed for food prep on Thanksgiving Eve at 6:30pm and serving meals, set up, and clean up on Thanksgiving and Christmas day with multiple shifts to choose from starting at 6:00am – 2pm. Westy’s is located downtown at 346 N Main.
This is a great volunteering opportunity for adults and families alike. Thanksgiving Eve is a fun time of cutting vegetables for the Thanksgiving meal. It’s laid back and a great time to socialize with others. You can purchase a meal or drinks while you are there.
Thanksgiving Day is a heart-warming experience as we serve over 750 people who otherwise would not be eating a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.
