Volunteer day: Free Community Meal, Montego Bay

We're short of hands for the Free Community Meal; can you spare a morning?

Montego Bay
Every year the Free Community Meal brings together 542 neighbors in Montego Bay. I help organize it with 11 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
