thank you for volunteering!
We want to thank you for volunteering for Sipp & Savor!
We hope to create a meaningful experience for all involved, and that includes you!
We ask that our culinary and hospitality students arrive by 2:30 pm the day-of the festival. Expect a short orientation, a walk thru of what is located where, who to contact for what, etc. You will then be paired with your assigned chef to work with them through every aspect of the event. We want you to gain as much experience and knowledge as possible! You will work directly with one chef during the entire experience.
Only culinary students will be paired with chefs. This is a vital part of Sipp & Savor’s mission.
We will provide you with a Sipp & Savor t-shirt to wear and keep. Please keep long hair pulled back. Typical food service rules apply.
Instructors, your students are welcome to wear jeans or chef pants, as well as a baseball cap with your school’s branding.
We will have snacks and food available.
We will have the street closed all day; our recommendation is to park in the free parking garage located at 712 24th Avenue Meridian, MS 39301. It's unlimited free parking and a short 2-3 block walk from the museum (we are located at 2155 Front Street).
