King Women's Resource Center or Recovery on Redwood meal service opportunities. This is an excellent opportunity for families, friends, work groups, church groups, clubs, and other groups of 4-10 people over 16 to serve a well-balanced meal for 30-50 homeless youth. Our YRC kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary items to prepare your meal. Our YRC Community Engagement Staff is here to coordinate with you whether you bring a fully equipped meal or cook one in our kitchen.
