Sunday 8/22 9:45 AM - 1:00 PM Join Urban Girl Squad as we team up with God's Love We Deliver (GLWD), the free meal preparation and delivery service for people with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses, to prepare food for those who are too ill to shop or cook for themselves. GLWD is a non-profit, non-religious organization founded in 1985 that prepares and delivers meals to people with fatal diseases and provides nutritional counseling to their clients. At GLWD, every meal is prepared by hand and delivered to clients' doorsteps each day, offering encouragement and companionship for people whose illness limits their ability to get up and out to shop and cook for themselves. God's Love We Deliver 166 Avenue of the Americas at Spring Street Free! location website After a brief orientation and food safety review, we will be helping with various types of food prep, including chopping and peeling veggies, wrapping bagels, and preparing a pack-out for the next day's deliveries. All equipment will be provided -- hairnets, aprons, knives, and cutting boards. T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers are recommended, as shoulders, armpits, knees, and toes MUST be covered, regardless of the weather. Space is very limited for this event (only 10 volunteers), so sign up today! Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to show up and stay for the entire event. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to provide a nutritious meal to individuals facing the dual crises of hunger and illness.
