TASK’s entire operation relies on a strong network of volunteers who come to TASK with an open heart in the spirit of giving back to their neighbors in need. TASK volunteers truly excel at showing our community “radical hospitality.”

Each December, your support ensures that TASK can show our cherished community just how much we care. No matter how bitter the winter weather is outside, TASK’s Escher Street dining room is always welcoming and warm — especially during the holiday season!

“I feel safe when I’m at the soup kitchen.” “I always feel welcome.” “I know I’m not alone.” Testimonials like these from the people TASK serves show what a powerful impact your support has had on our neighbors in need!

On Friday, September 13, TASK hosted our third annual community meal & BBQ to commemorate Hunger Action Month, a time when relief agencies join together to raise awareness about food insecurity, which is surging across the U.S.

This Hunger Action Month, TASK is recognizing a major new milestone: more than 7 million meals served since 1982. Our output has never been higher, and we need your help to do more!

This summer, TASK will bid a fond farewell to Volunteer Coordinator Charlie Orth, who is retiring after a long and gratifying career at TASK.

For the past eight years, it has been the highest privilege to be in the driver’s seat here at TASK. Now, it is my turn to hand the wheel over to someone new. I have made the decision to retire at the end of 2024.
