The Los Niños Service League

Over the years several volunteer auxiliaries have been founded to assist in raising funds for the Sacramento Children's Home and have become an integral part of the services involved with the Home. Founded in 1973, the Los Niños Service League has operated Casa Garden to provide ongoing financial and moral support to the children and families served by the Sacramento Children's Home.

Casa Garden is staffed entirely by volunteers, except for a professional kitchen manager and attendant personnel. There are nearly 300 of these dedicated individuals, all of whom are active members of the Los Niños Service League.

  • Food is planned and prepared by volunteers.
  • Dining room is staffed by volunteer servers and hostesses.
  • Gardens are planted and maintained by volunteers.

Dining Room (Mon-Fri)
Kitchen volunteers are responsible for preparing food and are supervised by the executive chef. They arrive early at 8:30 a.m. and start the day's food prep. Other shifts come in at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. to prep the food and serve it. Servers arrive at 9:30 a.m. to help set up the dining room. A daily dining room manager arranges the seating plan and acts as dining room hostess. There's always time for a cup of coffee before the lunch guests arrive. Servers wear a uniform. Bartenders provide wine service and lend a helping hand on occasion, in the dining room and kitchen. Cashiers handle daily receipts and record transactions.
Private Events (Weekends/Evenings)
Weekend workers may help prepare food for special events or serve the food and act as hostesses. Shifts vary from two to five hours, depending upon the event and the volunteer's time.
Garden (Mon-Fri)
Gardeners keep our garden beautiful by planting, pruning, and planning for next season's blooms.
