EHI Nutrition Program - Cook

Equal Housing Initiative inc. (EHI) has partnered with Harvest Manitoba, Costco, Second Harvest and Leftovers to design a Nutrition Program for the residents of the McLaren Hotel - which is a 150 room Single Occupancy Hotel serving Winnipeg's most vulnerable populations. The nutrition program is part of a larger effort by EHI to convert the hotel into a supportive housing facility in partnership with the Federal National Housing Strategy.
To create sustainability within this program, EHI is seeking volunteers willing to dedicate their time on Thursdays to assist in the preparation of the food, assist in coordinating meal plans, and work with other volunteers to ensure all duties are completed.
Volunteers would be responsible for:
- Cooking for 100+ people.
- Working with other volunteers to ensure meals are ready at the desired time.

- Food Handlers certificate.
- Vaccination against Covid-19 is required as we are working with a vulnerable population.
- Hold a valid Manitoba Driver's License with access to a reliable vehicle (or a partner willing to drive) is an asset but not required.
- Ability to respect the confidentiality of the clients and volunteers.
- Ability to record and store data as instructed
- Well-organized, punctual, dependable volunteer
- Good communication skills and problem-solving ability
- Cell phone recommended but not required
- Knowledge of the effects of mental health issues, addiction, poverty, and Winnipeg's marginalized population is an asset.
