Anyone here volunteered at a soup kitchen?

I’m thinking of volunteering and do have a bit of social anxiety but it’s not that extreme
I don’t get nervous when talking to people but my problem is struggling to think of things to talk about

I haven’t got a lot going on in my life atm,
I work in retail and thankfully get on well with everyone there but it’s a big shop with independent work so you’re not in each others face as much

I’m thinking of volunteering at a soup kitchen for refugees
On an email she said the volunteer team is quite small but it can get busy with clients coming in and out

I think it’d be good if it’s busy as that could help overcome awkward silences, but with being stuck in a small team in the kitchen there might not be much to say

Anyway just curious to hear your experiences if you have any
