Rooted Together is NNH's cohort program supporting single mothers on their journey toward stability and self-sufficiency. As a Dinner Host, you'll provide the meal for one cohort gathering, and in doing so, you'll help create an experience where women feel genuinely cared for before the meeting even begins.
What this looks like:
Your main contribution is the meal. That can look however you want it to - a home-cooked dish or something catered. From there, you're welcome to help with table setup, add a personal touch to the space, or simply serve the meal. Whatever level of involvement feels right for you.
Meetings start at 5:30 PM and open with dinner. Feel free to adjust your start time based on what you're bringing or cooking in our fully equipped kitchen.
Who's a great fit
We're especially looking for women who understand this journey from the inside, whether as a former single mother yourself or someone raised by one. No facilitation experience needed, just warmth and a willingness to show up for someone else.
Details:
- You're signing up for one specific meeting date, not an ongoing commitment
- Love it? You're welcome to sign up again for a future date
- On-site at the Northside Neighborhood House main agency
- Female volunteers only
- You are welcome to use our fully equipped kitchen for meal preparation
- Background check required unless volunteering through an established partner group
Why it matters:
For many women in this cohort, walking into a room with a good meal waiting is a simple but powerful reminder that someone took time for them. That moment matters.
