We are participating in a community service project at the Small Things Warehouse in Roxborough. Come help pack boxes of food with Black Philadelphia!

Looking for an opportunity to give back? What better way than to serve a meal to some of Philadelphia's citizens experiencing extreme poverty and food insecurity? This service event is for individuals 13 years and older.

"We Believe that Small Things are How Change Happens"

SERIOUS COMMITMENTS ONLY! WE ONLY HAVE 10 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 8:45 to 10:30am. We will be on our feet the whole time. PLEASE WEAR CLOSED-TOE SHOES and clothing that you feel comfortable moving around in! Keep in mind that our warehouse is roughly the same temperature inside as the weather outside.

Small Things
They rely on volunteers to help us sort donations and pack over 1,000 food boxes a week to meet the needs of our community partners. Every small act of service goes a long way to helping families in need!

"Small Things distributes food, hygiene, and household goods to our network of local partners, which is comprised of community centers, food pantries, and churches in and around Philadelphia, PA. Our partners understand the needs of their communities, and we supply them with the resources necessary to meet those needs."

SERIOUS COMMITMENTS ONLY! WE ONLY HAVE 10 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.
