We're short of hands for the Holiday Toy Drive; can you spare a morning?

Every year the Holiday Toy Drive brings together 112 neighbors in Mangaluru. I help organize it with 10 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for serving food, washing up and welcoming guests. 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Sending good thoughts, Priyanka. It takes guts to ask. Well done!

    • Thinking of you and your family, Priyanka. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Savar this morning. Greetings from Savar.

      • Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

        • Wishing you peace, Priyanka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
