Greensboro Urban Ministry Potter's House Community Kitchen Potter's House serves a free, well-balanced, nutritious meal each day to an average of 350 guests. For many, this may be the only nutritious meal that they can afford to eat. Volunteers are needed once a week on weekdays or once a month on weekends. They are needed from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to set up, cook, serve, and clean. The Greensboro Food Bank redistributes good, edible food that would otherwise be discarded.
Surplus food is salvaged from grocers, wholesalers, and gardeners.
Prepared and perishable food is collected collected from local restaurants and caterers. Each year more than 800,000 pounds of food are distributed to Urban Ministry feeding programs and other non-profits that serve the hungry.
