Serving Meals

Dinnertime at The Extension is a great example of our community coming together. After working hard all day, the residents appreciate having a hot meal provided for them. But, more importantly, the love and fellowship shared over dinner with our volunteers make all the difference.

The information below should answer most of your questions about serving dinner to our residents at both of our campuses.

When deciding what to prepare, think about where you will be doing most of the cooking - some groups cook everything together, off-site (at their church, for instance), others prepare items individually, in small batches and combine it when they get to The Extension. Dinner is served at 7pm and ends by 8pm. We encourage you to bring enough food for the residents and those in your group.

If you are volunteering with a church group, please review and adhere to our Volunteer Worship Standards.

Thank you for joining us in service—we look forward to seeing you!

Men's Campus – Located at 1507 Church Street Extension, Marietta

Parking is available in any of the front and back parking spaces that are open. Carpooling is encouraged.

The Men's Extension building has an eight burner commercial gas range, an oven, convection oven, and a large grill outdoors. Our facility is equipped with a commercial dishwasher, allowing us to use melamine plates and bowls and stainless steel flatware, and an ice maker—we have all of that you will need. Residents will wash the dishes from the evening meal, although they may not get to it right after dinner because of their meeting schedule. If you have your own pots that need washing, please ask a resident to help.

Women's Campus – Located at 130 Holiday Street, Marietta

The women's facility does not have a commercial range; we have a four-burner stove with one oven and an outside grill. Our facility is equipped with two dishwashers, allowing us to use melamine plates and bowls and stainless steel flatware, and an ice maker—we have all of that you will need. Residents will do the kitchen clean-up.
