“We’ve had tremendous response from the community and are very nearly there but still need volunteer table servers for Safeway Feast of Sharing on Wednesday, November 26.
WHAT:
Volunteer Registration for the 26th Annual Safeway Feast of Sharing presented by Events DC is now open, with the support of their community partners, including the Salvation Army handling volunteers. Safeway Feast of Sharing is one of the District’s most meaningful Thanksgiving traditions, created to serve a complete seated turkey dinner to thousands of our city’s residents in need, many of whom are unlikely to have one otherwise. Beyond a holiday meal, the event offers a health and community services expo, personal care bags, a coat giveaway and more.
RULES:
All volunteers must be 12 years or older with minors (volunteers under 18) accompanied by a parent or guardian who can sign the liability agreement on their behalf.
All volunteers MUST arrive 30 minutes before their shift starts.
If you are registering as part of a group, each volunteer MUST register separately as each must acknowledge the liability agreement.
WHERE:
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
801 Allen Y. Lew Place NW, Washington, DC
WHEN:
Wednesday, November 26, with volunteer assignments beginning at 7:30 a.m.
Volunteer shifts are also available on Monday and Tuesday, November 24 and 25, with shifts starting as early as 7:30 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m.
