Ok here’s the deal New Yorkers:
🌱 Mutual Aid org started in 2020 to cook meals for people during the pandemic, initially meant to be a small scale project for a few weeks.
🌱 Now, they’ve made 485,000+ meals over 4 years and feed people across all 5 boroughs. They have a big focus on feeding migrants in the EV, but they also send food out to many satellite orgs feeding people elsewhere.
🌱 This is not your militant volunteer work with an interview and an application and lots of rules and regulations. This is sign up and show up. (Wear a hat or you’ll have to wear an ugly hairnet.)
🌱 The main big volunteer push is every Sunday at the 6th St Community Center. They pack the whole place full of volunteers doing prep work for the cooks and then serving the meals into single serve containers. (Only cooks and head chef in the kitchen!!)
🌱 The vibes are amazing, everyone is chatting, the more social you are the better, music is playing, and the food is really really really tasty. The volunteer spots fill up about three weeks out…that’s how awesome it is.

(I’ve only spent two Sundays with them, because I typically work with one of the satellite orgs, but it’s been awesome and I recommend it to everyone, and I’m looking forward to more Sundays spent there!)

disregard digital validation and don't let numbers be a gauge of how well you're doing. starting out with a small and loyal reader base is way more important than having a million subscribers
