Every week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center distributes about 1,000 meals to members of our community. Volunteers are needed to help with the bagging and distribution of cooked food provided by local Haitian restaurants and funded by Rethink Foods. Volunteers will assist with set up, break down and clean up for each shift. Training will be provided and A Sant La staff member will always be present to coordinate efforts and provide support. Volunteers should dress comfortably with closed toed shoes and keep personal items to a minimum as space is limited. The entrance is through the black gates on 135th Street heading east. Parking is free. Please email Nadeige Theresias-Joisil with any questions (ntjoisil@santla.org).
