Volunteer day: Community Soup Kitchen Night, Setagaya
We're short of hands for the Community Soup Kitchen Night; can you spare a morning?
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan595 views
Every year the Community Soup Kitchen Night brings together 231 neighbors in Setagaya. I help organize it with 10 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
