22 volunteers for the Free Community Meal in Ottawa

Our small team in Ottawa is running the Free Community Meal and needs volunteers for set-up, serving and clean-up.

Every year the Free Community Meal brings together 546 neighbors in Ottawa. I help organize it with 7 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for stewarding, first-aid support and clean-up. Shifts are four hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers. It's a long-standing tradition, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day. If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you. Thank you for reading my story.

                  Wishing you the best, Pamela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bursa.
