Volunteer day: Refugee Welcome Picnic, Anaheim
Give a few hours to the Refugee Welcome Picnic - everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,212 views
Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 445 neighbors in Anaheim. I help organize it with 11 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for registration, sorting donations and carrying boxes. 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 fun day for all ages, 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 for reading my story.
