Give a few hours to the Refugee Welcome Picnic - everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.

Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 454 neighbors in Los Angeles. I help organize it with 6 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                    More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tucson

                      So sorry you're going through this, Lata. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Taguig so I could bring a meal. Take care.
