Working together with Friends of Crocheron as well as the Kiwanis Queens East Division, NYCYVS helped with weeding, removing litter, edgining and mulching around the park. Thank you to everyone who helped out.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered again on April 9th, 2022. We had several new volunteers, and I'd like to thank to those for quickly adapting to the work style. Just a notice, we'll be not volunteering at La Jornada for a while. We'll start volunteering at La Jornada around May 27.

We volunteered at Kehilat Sephardim Food Pantry, a popular food pantry that serves food to over a thousand of citizens in Kews Garden Hill. It was quite a freezing shift today but nevertheless we had fun. As you can see below, one of our tasks was to package fresh grapes, flawless from moldiness or fungus. Moreover, we also had other food to distribute, such as fresh zucchinis, lettuce, onions, and watermelons. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered today and great thanks to the food pantry for the ongoing support for its community citizens 💞.

We volunteered again at La Jornada. I guess La Jornada is now considered one of the "go to places" for our volunteering events now. It's still so amazing that all of us are able to do so much and contribute so much to our community. Today is another busy day at La Jornada that involves all of us doing different things such as bagging food, boxing and crating vegetables, clearing out boxes, and cleaning up the place. However, there are only 3 words that describes what makes today so unique: 'Illegal' Horse Chips

Like who would've expected that there are chips like these 🤣.

During President's Week, so many of us volunteered once again at La Jornada. Today, La Jornada had no one but us and 3 other volunteers who supervises the place. Our main goal today is to pack as many food bags as we can and surprisingly, we managed to pack everything within 3 hours. Usually, it'll take us 5 hours - no even more than 5 hours to pack during the weekends, so it was a proud accomplishment for many of us. Haha I'm so proud of us 😌

NYCYVS volunteered for the first time in the year of 2022 at La Jornada. Volunteering with over 20 other friends, volunteers, and peers, we all had a great time! Maybe the experience with onions may not be that fun, but the experience of volunteering with friends and peers was amazing.

Although we typically do the usual things in La Jornada such as distributing food and bagging them, we do face new experiences and some include encountering new people who have similar passions. Today will be NYCYVS' last event (of 2021). But we'll definitely resume volunteering next year as soon as possible.

Lastly:

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and happy New Year

To provide those in need with a wonderful warm thanksgiving, so many nonprofits cluster at NY Hall of Science distributing food, clothes, and flyers consisting of ways to receive help. We helped bagged and distributed food to hundred of people. But today, we've also seen more stuff, such as thousands of people as well as seeing the governor making her own speech and approving a bill in person! Some of us even got a picture taken with the manager of La Jornada as well 🤩! Today was a blast for everyone and if it isn't its definitely a special day.
