Join the Refugee Welcome Picnic: Emre needs helpers on Monday
Our small team in Istanbul is running the Refugee Welcome Picnic and needs volunteers for set-up, serving and clean-up.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, TürkiyePosted Oct 1, 2026637 views
Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 491 neighbors in Istanbul. I help organize it with 8 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for serving food, washing up and welcoming guests. Shifts are two to three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a family-friendly day, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
