Joyful Markets by Martha's Table, September 29th, 2-6pm

Dames Volunteer Opportunity at Joyful Markets by Martha's Table

Help spread the Joy by simply showing up to hand out fresh fruits and vegetables to local families with big shopping bags!  Each month Martha's Table sets up no-cost, after school, farmer's markets at 29 schools East of the Anacostia River. This is part of their effort to provide free and easy access to nutritional foods for families throughout the District. Here's a quick video of how they "pop-up", provide hundreds of families with groceries, and clean up in a matter of hours: https://youtu.be/xmOUwP1yN0A
​

The good folks at Martha's Table have invited us to help (wo)man the Joyful Market at Moten Elementary School, 1565 Morris Rd SE, Washington, DC 20020, on Thursday, September 29th from 2:00 p.m. til 6:00 p.m.  

No need to bring any goods or services for this volunteer opportunity.  Martha's table even provides loner aprons.   We need 10 volunteers for the full-time period. There is free street parking surrounding the school.  Feel free to sign up a spouse or friend to come with you.  

Please RSVP to abauer@marthastable.org with your full name and day of event phone number.

DATE: June 24, 2016
TIME:  1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Join sister Dames and friends at the Capital Area Food Bank where we will take a tour and learn from CEO Nancy Roman about hunger in our area and support their important work filling in gaps in the hunger safety net.  We will be part of a "Face Hunger" simulation and education session, and then we will help CAFB employees and volunteers pack and/or sort donated food. All of these tasks are considered light/medium labor and typically involves standing up for up to three hours. Please bring a warm layer and wear close-toed shoes. 
LOCATION: 4900 Puerto Rico Ave NE.   This project is metro accessible via the Brookland Metro station on the Red Line (Call the Volunteer Shuttle Line at 202-327-1929 if you need a shuttle from the Brookland/CUA Metro)
RSVP:  We have 20 volunteer slots to fill, so please bring a friend and RSVP to Aviva Goldfarb, aviva@thescramble.com   
The Capital Area Food Bank is the largest organization in the Washington metro area working to solve hunger and its companion problems: chronic undernutrition, heart disease, and obesity. By partnering with 444 community organizations in DC, MD, and VA, as well as delivering food directly to hard-to-reach, under-served areas, the CAFB provides 540,000 people annually with access to good, healthful food. That translates to 12% of our region's mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and grandparents.
