2025-09-01 - 2025-09-30 | Nourish Now, 405 East Gude Drive, Rockville, MD, 20850, United States
Join our team in preparing nutritious and delicious casseroles and/or banana bread for the individuals served by Nourish Now in Rockville.
When you sign up below, you are committing to deliver four individual servings of a casserole or banana bread to the center any weekday between 9:30am-3:30pm. You can sign up for additional slots to bring more, but students seeking SSL hours should note MCPS’s daily limit in the guidelines below.
Our recipe library has wonderful casserole suggestions, but you are welcome to deliver any type of nutritious casserole you wish to make. You can substitute zucchini bread or any other healthier type of quick bread in place of banana bread. And if you need of a recipe, we recommend this one for mini loaves of banana bread. Feel free to customize your breads with chocolate chips, raisins, etc. Whatever you make, be sure to note any allergens in your ingredients on the label (details below).
Health and Safety Information
In order to protect the quality of your donation and our program, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines:

Start with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.
Start with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).
Keep longer hair tied back.
Follow other common sense procedures, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!

Thank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for your donations!
How to Donate Your Meal Servings
Individually package up the number of servings you signed up to provide in small food containers with tight-fitting lids. You can buy containers at the grocery store, or ask your friends and neighbors for their small take-out containers, and they’ll be thrilled to put their extras to good use!

Label each container and freeze. (Use this template to print six-per-page KindWorks labels off your own printer.) Labels should include

date prepared
your first name and last initial
type of casserole
any relevant allergy or food preference info

Deliver your frozen meals anytime Monday-Friday between 9:30am-3:30pm, to Nourish Now Center at 405 East Gude Drive Rockville, MD 20850.
