Volunteer Opportunities


As a way of keeping costs down and involving parents in the school, Bellarmine offers a number of opportunities to volunteer in several different areas.

Volunteer with the Food Service Program

Bellarmine's food service program is seeking volunteers interested in helping with the student lunch program. Volunteers help serve lunch to students and staff and assist in the food preparation in between the two lunches. It's high energy, fun and generates fabulous camaraderie amongst the students and staff. The hours are 10:30am - 1:00pm on the days in which lunch is served. Please contact Patty Knodel at p.knodel@comcast.net for more information.
