We are SO excited for our second annual 
FRIENDSGIVING
Join us as we partner with Meta Church for an epic Friendsgiving Feast on Saturday, November 23rd!
We’ll be inviting our unhoused neighbors across the city to enjoy a hot Thanksgiving meal, live music and real-time connection with our community. We’ll also be packing up Thanksgiving meals and delivering them to our neighbors in need on the Upper East Side; as well as putting together Dignity Bags (high quality hygiene kits).
We’d love for you to join us in this special opportunity, either to serve meals, pack to-go bags, cook the delicious food we’ll be providing, or with set up/clean up. Simply SIGN UP HERE!
We look forward to another amazing time of loving our neighbor like we love ourselves!
¡Estamos MUY emocionados por nuestra segunda celebración anual de FRIENDSGIVING!
¡Acompáñanos mientras nos asociamos con Meta Church para una increíble fiesta de Friendsgiving el sábado 23 de noviembre!
Invitaremos a nuestros vecinos sin hogar de toda la ciudad para que disfruten de una comida de Acción de Gracias caliente, música en vivo y una conexión real con nuestra comunidad.
También empaquetaremos comidas de Acción de Gracias y las entregaremos a nuestros vecinos necesitados en el Upper East Side; además de armar Dignity Bags (kits de higiene de alta calidad).
Nos encantaría que te unieras a esta oportunidad tan especial, ya sea para servir comidas, empaquetar las bolsas para llevar, cocinar la deliciosa comida que ofreceremos, o para ayudar con la preparación y limpieza.
¡Esperamos con ansias otro momento increíble de amar a nuestros vecinos como nos amamos a nosotros mismos!
Intercambio (Spanish/English Language Exchange)
SATURDAY, December 7th from 4PM-6PM, IN-PERSON, we will host our monthly “intercambio” for neighbors on the Upper East Side in collaboration with Open Hearts Initiative.
We will have scripted conversation starters in English and Spanish, we will play games to practice language skills as well as share dinner, and other essential resources. Our community clothing closet will also be available for those that need clothing.
If you’re able to volunteer at this event (help your asylum-seeker neighbors learn English while learning or practicing your Spanish), please email Project1231nyc@gmail.com.
No prior experience or level of fluency in Spanish is required–it’s really about building community and learning a little bit from each other. You can also help with “childcare,” providing activities for the children of participants such as stories, games, and coloring. This is a FREE event and ALL are welcome to attennd!
