Join the Free Community Meal: John needs helpers on Thursday

We're short of hands for the Free Community Meal; can you spare a morning?

Every year the Free Community Meal brings together 210 neighbors in San Jose. I help organize it with 10 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for stewarding, first-aid support and clean-up. Shifts are three 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

          hope it all works out, John. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

            More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
