Our “Make A Meal For One Night” program is a great way for you and/or your friends or group help volunteer your time OFF SITE. Often times our 5pm dinner service is not compatible with many peoples busy schedules, so we offer this volunteer opportunity as a way to help on your own time while still being an enormous benefit to us and our guests! This program also helps to alleviate some of the high costs of food and enables us to spend that money on other operational costs.
