Volunteer day: Community Soup Kitchen Night, San Jose
We're short of hands for the Community Soup Kitchen Night; can you spare a morning?
🇺🇸 California, United States756 views
Every year the Community Soup Kitchen Night brings together 572 neighbors in San Jose. I help organize it with 7 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. 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 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.
