Thanksgiving Day Meal Packing for Those in Need!

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/Cy0j2Wq7ePYdikUlXKHA **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Hey Volunteers, For those who aren't going home for Thanksgiving, let's volunteer and help some people in need. <3 Come join me and new friends this morning to pack fresh, Thanksgiving groceries and share some laughs as we give back to our neighbors. We will start with about a round of quick chats to meet each other, then we'll team up in small groups and walk over to Project Open Hand, and start filling meal boxes together. By noon, we'd have prepped hundreds of meals for neighbors in need alongside a crew of nice new friends! The Plan: - 8:30AM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. Find out what inspires each person to give back and how they stay connected to the community. - 9:AM - Noon : Form Groups & walk over to Project Open Hand and begin packing meals together. The goal today isn't to just smile politely and leave with a few loose contacts, it is to actually volunteer together right now and maybe even find your go-to folks for future volunteer days and community service projects. Plus, once the morning wraps up, the app lets you stay in touch with everyone you connected with without having to swap phone numbers on the spot. I cannot wait to spend this morning making a difference with you. A few favorite spots nearby: SPRO Coffee - A bright specialty cafe just two blocks south offering inventive espresso drinks, warm teas, and creative morning toasts in a spacious setting. Cafe Buenos Aires - Located just steps down the street, this warm and welcoming spot pairs comforting South American coffee with freshly baked artisanal empanadas.
