IMPACT

We'll be supporting Grace Diner by serving a warm meal, and sharing various healthcare, food, and government resources by pooling our energy and partnering with local service vendors. Your presence can help create a welcoming, supportive, and safer environment for our community.

Our unhoused neighbors are not getting their basic needs met, which everyone deserves. They are deprived of nutritious meals, healthcare needs, and shelter. When we work with fellow volunteers to offer a welcoming connection and meet the urgent needs of people living outside, our entire community benefits.

VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Set up tables, signage, and other necessary items before open ( Luau themed decor and specialty drinks)

Direct vendors on where they can set up

Assist with serving drinks

Serve a warm meal to our unhoused neighbors
