About this event
We are participating in a community service project at Face To Face Germantown.
Looking for an opportunity to give back? What better way than to serve some of Philadelphia's citizens experiencing extreme poverty and food insecurity? Come help with registration, water stations, and medal presentations during their biggest fundraiser of the year, the Turkey Trot! This service event is for individuals 12 years and older, though it's probably ideal for older teens and adults.
SERIOUS COMMITMENTS ONLY! WE ONLY HAVE 15 SLOTS AND WE WANT TO FILL EVERY ONE, SO PLEASE DO NOT RSVP UNLESS YOU ARE FIRMLY COMMITTED TO ATTENDING.
Please note the time commitment is 8:00am to 1:00pm.
Face to Face "Hospitality, Mutuality, and Transformation – speak to our belief that individuals experiencing poverty should be treated with respect. We are all equals here, with the same needs and desires – only our circumstances differ. We welcome everyone who enters our doors as our guests, helping them fight off the root causes of poverty. Face to Face began on May 13, 1984, after the members of St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church began cooking hot meals for their Germantown neighbors who were food-insecure. Over the years, as the hardships became more apparent, we have responded to those needs organically, and today we offer a One Stop Shop of free services: meals, a legal center, a health center, social services center, a washateria, art studio, and computer lab."
SERIOUS COMMITMENTS ONLY! WE ONLY HAVE 15 SLOTS, SO PLEASE DO NOT RSVP UNLESS YOU ARE FIRMLY COMMITTED TO ATTENDING. It does us no good to have 20 people RSVP and only 2 show up to serve. Please change your RSVP or text me if you must cancel.
Dress code Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops allowed), pants and socks, and a comfortable shirt.
AGAIN, SERIOUS COMMITMENTS ONLY! WE ONLY HAVE 15 SLOTS, SO PLEASE DO NOT RSVP UNLESS YOU ARE FIRMLY COMMITTED TO ATTENDING.
