We are at 901 North Milton Avenue, in the East Baltimore City, east of Hopkins Medical School and the Northeast Market. Our large, red-brick building takes up the whole block on Milton between Ashland Avenue and Eager Street. Volunteers and guests should enter at the middle doors of our building, under the Moveable Feast sign.

The MTA bus routes #21, #56 and the Pink Link drops you within 3 blocks of our building, at Monument and Milton. You could also take the Metro to the Hopkins stop and then take any east-bound bus on Monument, getting off at Milton and walk three blocks north, or walk approximately 10 blocks from the Metro station to us.

There is free street parking on all the streets around our building, as well as in the gravel lot just across from our entrance at corner of Milton and Eager.

If you are sick, getting sick, or getting over being sick, do not come in. Our clients have compromised immune systems, and it is with utmost importance we do not take any health risks. Thank you for keeping our clients in mind.

The Moveable Feast Kitchen is a commercial production kitchen which has specific requirements and guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety. These following elements are important for our Clients’ welfare and our volunteer’s safety.

Food Safety: Staff and volunteers must follow strict sanitary guidelines which include wearing face masks, hand washing, wearing hair nets, aprons and gloves, and proper food handling practices. Moveable Feast provides all necessary kitchen gear.

Personal Safety: Requires the physical ability to work in cold temperatures (such as freezers), standing for up to 3 hours, working with kitchen equipment, lifting up to 25 lbs. and full dexterity to handle food, knives and carts.

Please note that shift tasks vary by production needs. If you have physical restrictions, please contact Volunteer Services to see if accommodations can be made.

We understand that things come up. To cancel a shift, please log-in to your VolunteerHub account and cancel the shift on-line, if possible no later than 6 hours before your scheduled shift. This helps greatly with our planning and work assignment processes.

If an emergency arises on the day of your scheduled shift, please call or text us at 443.904.3313 or e-mail our Volunteer Services office to be sure we know that you won’t be coming.

That depends on your volunteer role:

• Office and Client Services volunteers should come in business casual attire.
• Kitchen volunteers must wear face masks, hairnets, gloves, and aprons that we provide
  • No shorts
  • No open-toed shoes
  • No heels (stiletto, kitten, wedge, etc.)
  • No tank tops (tee-shirts and short sleeves are fine)
  • No dangly jewelry that are at risk of falling into the food
  • Kitchen volunteers must wear hairnets, gloves and aprons that we provide
  • Please do not wear headphones in the kitchen
  • Maintain good personal hygiene

You may keep your cell phones on you, but please be considerate of kitchen sanitation and safety. Make or take your cell phone calls or text messages outside of the kitchen and change your gloves before handling food.

Snapping photos in the kitchen of your group volunteering is part of the fun! Please do not photograph anyone, including staff, unless they have explicitly agreed to be in your photo. We encourage you to post your images to your social media sites, tag Moveable Feast and include our hashtag #mfeastbmore.

The same guidelines apply to videography.

Videotaping requires advance permission from the lead kitchen staff and will depend on what projects are taking place in the kitchen at the time.

We have a full break room and encourage individual and group volunteers to bring snacks/lunch! Label your food and stow them in our shared volunteer refrigerator. We do ask that you help keep our facilities clean by tidying up after you are finished with your break.

Yes, we do actually, you do, through your shift sign-ups on VolunteerHub. You can view your volunteer history and pull documentation of your hours through your VolunteerHub account.

The minimum volunteer age is 14 years old for the kitchen, with the accompaniment of a parent/guardian who will volunteer alongside and supervise the youth. Each youth volunteer must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian prior to arrival (if parent/guardian is not present).

For volunteer groups that include youth aged 14-17 years old, the group must be accompanied by one adult supervisor per each five youth and those adults must volunteer alongside and supervise the youth.

For youth younger than 14, please contact Angie Kelley in Volunteer Services to learn about additional opportunities.

Moveable Feast loves hosting groups! Our kitchen can accommodate up to 15 volunteers at a time, with shifts available every day of the week. Shift availabilities vary by group size and date – please contact Angie Kelley directly with your volunteering request. On occasion, we can offer group delivery driving, as long as volunteers travel in pairs. If your group would like to volunteer, please contact our Community Engagement Manager, Angie Kelley, or visit our Group Volunteer page.
