Jannie Blackwell throws a Christmas Party every year for families in
homeless shelters. Food, presents for the kids from Santa, a band, face-painting
... the whole nine yards.
This year it's December 20 at the First District Plaza, 3801 Market
Street.
Volunteers are needed to help with the food service (bringing and clearing
tables for the next wave), minimizing chaos in the gift line, general
greeters.
You can volunteer by just showing up sometime between about 5:00 and 8:00
pm. There's also a volunteer's planning session in City hall this Friday (the
10th). Call Mrs Blackwell's office for the precise location (215-686-3418), or
go by Councilwoman Blackwell's office -- room 408 -- and they'll tell you where
it is. You can also call for more details.
Always at
your service and ready for a dialog, Al Krigman |
