I'm the host for a community service event this Saturday at Vacation Isle Park from 10am-noon.
We'll be making meal kits for Feeding San Diego, doing a clean-up of the park, and writing letters to seniors in assisted living facilities.
This event is part of the American Empathy Project; 100 events will be happening around the US on May 2 to encourage service and empathy.
Learn more about the American Empathy Project here, and more about this event at the link here or on Meetup here.
All supplies are provided, but if you'd like to contribute, you can bring a box of mac and cheese(vegan and gluten free versions welcome), a can of chili (approx 15 oz, with or without beans, meatless or meatful), or a can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz). There will be nice people, a beautiful location, and some hands-on ways to make the community a little better.
Everyone is welcome. Please feel free to hit me up with any questions. Hope to see some of you there!
