3-year old volunteer helps make sandwiches for clients of Caritas of Austin.

This program gives children the opportunity to learn and practice basic cooking and meal serving skills while at the same time supporting a great cause! Volunteer activities are ideal for those who are interested in and enjoy cooking and being around food!

Tasks include helping to prepare and assemble meals, preparation and decoration of baked goods, or serving meals. With parent/adult guidance, children learn or practice measuring, pouring and stirring, what ingredients are in certain meals/baked goods, assembling a meal, serving a meal,  reading and following directions, and working as a team.
