Volunteer for the Festival
Volunteers are the lifeblood of St. John's Food Festival. From the beginning of preparations in the summer until the last call for Kufta, nearly 200 volunteers will be involved. Our volunteers sometimes sign up to help out for as little as a single cooking day, or two hours shift on the buffet and usually report that they've truly enjoyed the experience. This is your chance to truly connect. We are always looking volunteers to help with our cooking days, night and weekend sessions are available, and of course during the Food Festival as well. Visit our website for more information about dates and times, or call our office any time.
