Volunteering In Good Company 🍲
Hi friends,
Hope you’re all healthy and happy as the colder days arrive.
For many of us, this means spending some cozy time indoors. But around 9,000 people in this city live on the streets. As temperatures drop, finding warmth, food, and a safe place to stay becomes even harder. It’s a reminder to be grateful for the support and opportunities we’ve had along the way.
On Wednesday, November 25th, at 8:00 pm, we’ll be volunteering again with Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe e.V. at Kottbusser Tor, supporting their evening food distribution for people living on the streets or without reliable access to food.
Last time, we met people from very different backgrounds, including a young boy, maybe 10 years old, who came to pick up some food, and an elderly couple, clearly navigating poverty later in life. We also met people dealing with addiction or mental health challenges. There was time for a few conversations alongside handing out food.
Afterwards, we’ll wrap up with tea and baklava 🫖🍵🥮 and take some time to share our impressions.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Best,
Florian
