Volunteer for Everett Gospel Mission’s
Holiday Meal Service


The holiday season is a time for warmth, community, and gratitude — but for many of our neighbors in Snohomish County, it can also be a time of loneliness and need.

At Everett Gospel Mission, we believe no one should face the holidays hungry or alone. That’s why we’re inviting caring volunteers like you to join us in serving special holiday meals this season.

Be Part of Something Meaningful

Each year, Everett Gospel Mission hosts festive Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for men, women, and families experiencing homelessness or food insecurity. These meals are more than just food — they’re moments of connection, dignity, and hope. When you volunteer, you’re not just serving a plate; you’re sharing joy, compassion, and the true spirit of the holidays.

Volunteer Opportunities

We’re looking for volunteers to help with:

  • Meal Preparation & Plating – Assist our kitchen team with prepping and plating delicious holiday dishes.
  • Serving & Hospitality – Bring a smile to guests as you serve meals and offer warm holiday greetings.
  • Setup & Cleanup Crews – Help transform our dining areas into welcoming spaces — and stay after to make sure everything is spotless.

It only takes a couple hours of your time to make a lasting difference.
