I have been lucky enough to serve lunch and dinner at LVRM several times over the years. I always look forward to spending time here as it reminds me that we are all sharing this planet together and we all need to help one another as much as possible.
The LVRM is run with love and caring. When you show up you are greeted warmly and the folks that run the place really appreciate your attendance. Upon arrival, you don an apron and a hair net. You could be working behind the counter serving food and drink, you could be greeting people as they come through the door (my favorite spot), or you might be out on the floor serving ice and water. Wherever you choose to work, your time here is well spent. Lunch is generally a smaller, more intimate crowd and at dinner you can serve anywhere from 300 - 400 people in one sitting. Everyone is always very thankful and they let you know how glad they are they are to see you.
I am very grateful that Las Vegas has the LVRM to assist those in need and I am glad that I am able to help them as much as my schedule allows. I have been taking my daughter with me since she was about 12 years old and now at 17 years old she can drive herself to serve when I am not able to join her. It has definitely helped develop her as an individual and taught her compassion and caring for those less fortunate.
If you enjoy volunteering as much as I do, then the LVRM is a great opportunity to give of yourself and your time.
