SUMMARY:VU-PHL & Love Your Park or Sharing Excess
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 10th! Beautify Carroll Park or help distribute free food at Malcolm X Park. Same day\, two options/times to give back! Pick one!\n\n\nJoin the Volunteering Untapped Team on Saturday\, May 10th\, for one of two different volunteering opportunities. Our partners this month are: \nLove Your Park is your portal to getting involved in Philly’s parks. From regular volunteer workdays to citywide celebrations and year-round community organizing\, Love Your Park brings Philadelphians together to clean\, green\, and celebrate our public green spaces. We love small neighborhood parks and large watershed natural areas alike. We are here for Philly’s parks. \nSharing Excess focuses on the logistical barriers that keep good food from reaching people. Their agile\, tech-enabled model makes it easy for businesses to donate fresh food regularly — while they handle the transportation\, coordination\, delivery\, and everything in between. They partner with food businesses and food banks alike\, acting as the agile connector that keeps perfectly good food moving while it’s still fresh. \nWhat will we be doing on Saturday\, May 10th?\nLove Your Park – Carroll Park – 9 AM – 1 PM: \n5800 W Girard Ave\, Philadelphia\, PA 19131 \nVolunteers will work alongside Phila Parks and Rec\, Fairmount Park Conservatory and Friends of Carroll Park to plant trees\, shrubs\, flowers\, mulch existing trees\, remove litter and debris. Carroll Park will host a post event celebration that will include: speaking program\, free lunch/refreshments\, live DJ\, family-friendly activities and free t-shirts! \nSharing Excess – Malcom X Park – 12 PM – 2 PM \n5100 Pine St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19143 \nSharing Excess hosts pop-up distributions up at parks throughout the city to bring free food markets directly to neighborhoods. Volunteers will assist with setting up tents\, tables\, and produce boxes\, and distributing food out to community members\, no questions asked \n \nNotes ahead of the event!\n\nWear clothes that are comfortable and suitable for the weather\, since this event takes place outside\nIf you sign up for Sharing Excess\, you must complete a waiver. The link will be provided in your pre-event email.\n\n \nParking & Transportation \n\nParking: Street parking is available around the parks\n\n \nA note about cancellations: \nIf your schedule changes and you can no longer make it\, please email volunteeringuntappedphl@gmail.com ASAP to let us know.
