We're building and maintaining the digital infrastructure that supports Everybody Eats' mission to provide kai (food) for everyone in our communities, with dignity and without stigma.

Everybody Eats operates pay-as-you-feel restaurants where everyone is welcome, regardless of their ability to pay. Our volunteer tech team helps make this mission possible by building and maintaining the digital tools that support operations, volunteer coordination, and community engagement.

We're always looking for volunteers with skills in:

• Frontend development (React, Vue, or similar)
• Backend development (Node.js, Python, etc.)
• UI/UX design
• Testing and QA
• Documentation
• DevOps and infrastructure
