Keene YPN Serves Dinner at the Community Kitchen
“Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.”
Marian Wright Edelman (born 1939); Activist, president and founder of Children’s Defense Fund
We need 4-6 volunteers on Tuesday, August 30 from 4:30 to 7pm to serve dinner at the Community Kitchen. Last year the Keene Community Kitchen served 900,000 meals to more than 11,000 area individuals. Let’s take part and volunteer a few hours to this great organization. You MUST RSVP prior to the event because there is paperwork that needs to be filled out. If you’re interested, contact Jess O’Connor at Jessica@mds-nh.org for details.
