I just recently received the e-mail below, and I thought I'd post a quick call for help on behalf of my friends working to organize Serve the City:

Just a few weeks ago project sign ups began for Serve the City. Currently we have about 200 volunteers who have signed up to take part in the projects. This is great news but we still need 150 more volunteers to make Serve the City reach it's full potential! If you haven't already signed up for a project, we invite you to come join us in serving.

This year Serve the City consists of 32 projects such as: preparing dinner for the homeless, pampering women from a woman's shelter, canal cruise with the elderly, raising funds for a refugee help organization, children's party in the Bijlmer and Bos en Lommer, collecting food for the Food Bank, gardening at an elderly care center, helping disabled people in practical ways, and much more.

Come have fun serving and make a difference in the life of someone in need. You can go to our website to see all the different projects and sign up for one, two, three, or even four projects. Even if you're not able to do a project we ask you to forward this email to your friends, colleagues, neighbors, family members, etc, who you think might be interested in the project.

On Monday, May 12th, we're having a festival with live bands and free food for everyone involved in the project. We hope to see you there!
