Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Café of Life. Without them we could not survive. Who are they? People just like you – concerned that in a “society of plenty” there are those who face each day without the potential fulfillment of the most basic of human needs. In essence, these volunteers “care, share and serve” their fellow man!

We have more than 800 volunteers who contribute over 10,000 hours in shopping for groceries each year, preparing and serving meals, serving on the Board of Directors, arranging special events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheons, and “lending a helping hand” to anything and everything in meeting the nutritional and supplemental needs of our clients.

You can become a volunteer at Café of Life by contacting us at volunteer@cafeoflife.org or calling (239) 495-9325. Our coordinators welcome your inquiry and can provide a comprehensive overview of the specific activities of our many volunteers – AND – how you can join this dedicated group of enthusiastic individuals.

“You fed me, clothed me, and had medical help that you provided. But most of all you loved me as I was and always had a smile. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..”

Letter from a former Café of Life client.
