CAST (Coffee and Sandwiches Together)
We serve a simple meal on the streets of Bellingham 4 nights/week (Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri). Our purpose is to serve food and connection to our neighbors in need. Many of our volunteers have been with CAST for years and continue to find it a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
Sandwich makers do food prep in the kitchen of a congregation in Fairhaven, making sandwiches (generally a 100 - 120 sandwiches), loading the carts with other supplies, and then cleaning up the kitchen. Available shifts are Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday afternoon from about 3 pm - 4:30 pm. A completed Interfaith Coalition volunteer application is required and the Health Department requires volunteers to have a food handlers card (you can complete online.)
When you sign up for a shift, you commit to that day each month. NOTE: some shifts - like "5th Wed." for example - have months when you will not volunteer.
