Volunteering on Xmas eve and day?
Archives are old. We usually go away for Xmas since we do not celebrate this holiday but...Covid.
I’m interested in volunteering- preferably locally- Berkeley or Oakland on this holiday- perhaps allowing some who celebrate Xmas to have the day off!
Suggestions?
Thx

Hi - I'm sure you're looking for something structured, but wanted to say it's possible to have a lot of fun doing something of your own design too. Last year I was solo on Christmas - I woke up early, baked two dozen muffins, made a big thermos of hot tea, and took it around and offered it to people sleeping outside near Ashby Bart. It made ME very happy! Some of they were surprised and appreciative, others not interested, but it was actually really easy to approach folks and ask if they wanted a muffin and some tea. I think this could easily be done in a COVID safe way. Just keep in mind many folks on the streets don't have good teeth so something soft is good.
