How did you get involved with Neighbors Together?
I am a New Yorker who aspires to give back to my Brooklyn community. I learned about the Board membership opportunity at Neighbors Together from a kind friend. She has worked to help Neighbors Together get funding to grow it’s good works. I am motivated to help from my personal experience. I know what it’s like to go to bed hungry and not be 100% focused in school the next day. I also know what it’s like to get the help I needed from my community. I felt sure that this was a great opportunity so I took the next step.
What do you love about being part of Neighbors Together?
I was curious to see how Neighbors Together was different than other soup kitchens in NYC. I volunteered to serve a meal at the Cafe and fell in love with the place! I noticed the creativity of the chefs back in the kitchen as they emerged with the lunch offerings that day. I enjoyed chatting with friendly servers and community members in the dining space.
