Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to volunteer at Farming Hope dinner series or at City Hope cafe. I think anyone who has ever eaten at a restaurant should work a shift to appreciate all the work that is done to get food to your table. These two fantastic organizations offer opportunities for folks to work as hosts, servers, runners, and more. I recently volunteered at both places and plan on going back soon. For more volunteer recommendations, check out this guide.
