Every year the Free Community Meal brings together 525 neighbors in Cambridge. I help organize it with 5 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for registration, sorting donations and carrying boxes. 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 fun day for all ages, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Praying for you, Santiago. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Cambridge.

    • Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Joliet.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Santiago. This could happen to any of us. Love from San Antonio

        • Hope it all works out, Santiago. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.

          • rooting for you, Santiago. Great idea, hope you get there. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!

              Good luck, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Akron donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

              • Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                • Hang in there, Santiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

                  • Hope it all works out, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Cairo.

                      • Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.

                        • More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.

                              • Stay strong, Santiago. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

                                  sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
