The group should arrive at 5:15 in order to receive a brief orientation for new volunteers and also to prepare to open the door for the guests at 5:30. All volunteers should wear sneakers -- NO SANDALS ALLOWED -- and clothing they don't mind getting dirty. Directions: 311 Temple Street which is right behind the New Haven Public Library in the basement of the Center Church Parish House. In order to enter the kitchen, you will need to go to the left hand side of the building (behind the black fire escape) and follow the walkway DOWN the stairs to the white door at the bottom of the stairs. This is the entrance into the kitchen. There will be a waiver for everyone to fill out the first time they volunteer with DESK and then they will be all set.
