Volunteer day: Free Community Meal, Porto Alegre
We're short of hands for the Free Community Meal; can you spare a morning?
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil863 views
Every year the Free Community Meal brings together 522 neighbors in Porto Alegre. I help organize it with 12 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for serving food, washing up and welcoming guests. Shifts are 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.
Thank you so much.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck, Gabriel. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Wishing you peace, Gabriel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Stay strong, Gabriel. Looking forward to the next update. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything

you're not alone, Gabriel. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Nairobi.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Xalapa so I could bring a meal. God bless.
