Volunteer Cook & Social Companion for Seniors

An afternoon full of board games, tall tales, more jokes, and of course delicious soup!

The Cooking Days are organized weekly from different locations. Volunteering takes about 2‑3 hours. At the start time you arrive at the community center or daycare, where we welcome you warmly and explain the process. Together with the elderly, you help prepare soup, play games, and keep them company by chatting.

The Cooking Days of Oma's Soep are always about fun and enjoyment. The elderly at community centres/day cares need the interaction our volunteers bring, creating a unique combination where young and old cook together to combat loneliness.

• Assist in preparing fresh soup with elderly participants.
• Help set up and run board games and other activities.
• Engage in conversation to provide companionship.
• Help with clean‑up and organization before and after each session.

Oma's Soep sells fresh soups and meals based on grandma's authentic recipe; at least 50% of the profits go to the Oma's Soep Foundation. The Foundation organizes weekly activities across the country to bring together young and old.
