See everyone tomorrow for another free food distribution in Tompkins Square Park. I'll be pinning this post to serve as the updated flyer for all future Saturday distributions until there's a change in what we need. All are welcome to come share in the resources we have to give, to help volunteer on the line, or both. Volunteers can join us for sandwich making and food prep nearby starting at 9:30am (dm if you'd like to join) and setup volunteers can meet us at 10:45 on the corner of 7th & B. Bring food, bring a friend, we'll slot you in-- our system is pretty organized at this point! We can also always use people who speak French, Arabic, Spanish, Wolof, Cantonese or Mandarin to help translate, make conversation and keep the line running smoothly. Dropoff donations of food & goods can be received at distro 10:45-noon (the earlier the better). Family-size dishes are welcome and we're always seeking individually packaged ready-to-eat food and snacks like granola bars & whole fruits/bagels/pastries, as well as bottled drinks (water, Gatorade, juice boxes, etc). For goods think: hygiene items like soaps & lotions (mini/hotel are always good), deodorant, wipes, sanitizer, razors, toothbrushes, masks, socks, gloves, individual packets of cough medicine and painkillers-- please NO clothes or large items at this distro as we don't have the capacity to handle these at the park. Lastly: a reminder that mutual aid is a political act in which we share resources without conditions, without judgment, and without policing or control. Please treat everyone like a competent and self-determining adult, and challenge yourself to rethink the us-and-them, above-and-below, savior-and-victim models that are perpetuated in so many models of charity. Thank you and see you Saturday!
