Opportunities From: Jewish Family Service of San Diego

Volunteer: Challah Dough Volunteer

Come help us make challah dough in the Loonin Kitchen!  Periodically, the Community & Volunteer Engagement team hosts groups that come to campus to braid challah dough.  These braided loaves are then baked in the Loonin Kitchen for Corner Market shoppers to have the next day.  Making several batches of challah dough goes faster when we have more hands to help.  If you enjoy camaraderie in the kitchen, while kneading dough, then this is the volunteer opportunity for you! 

Things to note:

- This opportunity requires volunteers to stand for the duration of the shift.

- Volunteers will help with measuring ingredients for the dough, kneading the dough, and wrapping it in plastic wrap.

- Volunteers will wear hairnets and gloves during this shift.
