Get out. Make friends. Meet people in NJ.

volunteer at the Food Bank

Want to do something to help people close to home that are struggling to get by? Volunteer with me at the Food Bank in Hillside. I'm a project coordinator for Jersey Cares and would love to make it social like an NJYP event, like go out for lunch afterwards.

We're planning to go on Feb. 20th -- I know that seems like a long way off but they are only so many spots and they tend to fill up fast, so if you're interested, sign-up at www.jerseycares.org. It's free, fast, and easy to register.

Jersey Cares also had groups going on Tuesdays, check their calendar for dates. Not to mention lots of other volunteering opportunities all over the state with a wide variety of organizations -- I can't explain how great it always feels to volunteer.

If you sign up for the Food Bank, drop me a line so I know who is from NJYP.

Cheers,

Debi

I know, but Jersey Cares is doing the earlier shift! I would have loved to work together and hang out afterwards, but I guess only if someone wants to work both shifts.
