## Join Us: Make a Difference at Our Outdoor Food Distribution!

Ready to step up and make a tangible impact in our community? 🤝 We're seeking enthusiastic volunteers for our upcoming food distribution event at Help the Pantry, and it's a fantastic chance to support our neighbors directly!

This outdoor event, held weather permitting, focuses on getting essential food items into the hands of those who need them most. You'll be involved in crucial tasks like:

• Distributing food items directly to neighbors.
• Organizing incoming food and existing inventory.
• Assembling meal bags for easy distribution.

Beyond the vital support you'll provide, dedicating your time has a wonderful ripple effect. It's a proven way to boost your own mental well-being and connect with a strong sense of purpose. You'll also get to meet other awesome community members who are just as passionate about making a positive impact. Imagine the shared energy and satisfaction of working together!✨

For this particular opportunity, we're looking for volunteers for the 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM shift. We have four volunteer spots available for this three-hour period. If you want to sign up for the 7:30 AM - 10:30 AM shift, click here: https://www.meetup.com/pminj-the-nj-chapter-of-the-pmi/events/308841803/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2

We're asking for a small participation fee to amplify our impact. Here's why it's so great: after covering meetup fees, every dollar of your participation fee will be matched and donated directly to CFBNJ (Community FoodBank of New Jersey), effectively doubling your contribution to fighting hunger in our area!

### Can't Volunteer? You Can Still Make a Difference!
