Description
Small Things Matter's Kokua Foods Program helps address food insecurity in our community. STM has been invited to share our work at the Alternative Gifts of Greater Washington Fair in Takoma Park. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to raise awareness as well as get donations for our food, literacy, and crafting programs which supports those in need in our community.
We need vaccinated teens and adults to help us set up and clean up at this event on Dec
The setup work involves decorating the space for the holidays by setting up tables, hanging ornaments, etc. The cleanup work involves putting all these items away.
Middle school and high school students who are vaccinated are eligible to earn SSL hours by working onsite at this event. Community service hours are also available.
