We need volunteers to provide food and drinks for our clients and volunteers who will meet at legal clinics to complete these complex applications. If you’d like to help, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080e45a8a72ea2f49-volunteers.

Volunteers to Help with Food @ Afghan Asylum Clinics

We are looking for volunteers to coordinate food and drinks for Afghan clients and volunteer attorneys at upcoming legal clinics. Rather than have individual volunteers sign up here to bring various items, we are looking for “lead volunteers” to sign up to be responsible for a particular date and coordinate with friends to get the items needed. Here are food and drinks that are appreciated by our Afghan clients:

• Dates
• Nuts
• Baklava or other pastries (A volunteer ordered pastries from this Middle Eastern bakery for an earlier event and our Afghan clients were completely thrilled: Shatila Bakery, https://shatila.com/)
• Fresh fruit
• Seltzer water
• Fruit juices

Our volunteer attorneys appreciate any typical American snacks & drinks (coffee! :-).

We anticipate 12-24 people on Thursdays and up to 30 people on Saturdays. Once you sign up we will send you more details about dropping off the food and drinks and confirm the number of people.

THANK YOU so much for supporting our efforts to help Afghan newcomers in our community to secure asylum.
