Create a calm and welcoming experience at one of the evening’s key guest touchpoints.
As a Coat Check Volunteer at Dish, Second Harvest Heartland’s premier gala, you’ll be one of the first and last people guests interact with during the event. You’ll greet attendees warmly, securely store their belongings, and assist with item retrieval at the end of the night. For late-shift volunteers, you’ll also encourage donations in lieu of tips to further support our mission to end hunger.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys guest interaction in a quieter setting and values thoughtful service.

- Welcome guests and accept items at the coat check station
- Securely store coats and personal belongings

- Training and guidance provided at the start of your shift

- Complimentary meal, beverages, and parking voucher (for The Depot ramp)
- Invitation to an optional pre-event overview session on Tuesday, September 29 from 10:00-11:30am
