First Fridays on McKenna's Wagon (rev. 08/22/11)

NPC has been invited to staff one of two McKenna's Wagon vans operated by Martha's Table the first Friday of every month. In order to do so, we need 3 to 4 volunteers each time we serve. If interested you may volunteer once or on an ongoing basis as space is available.

Those who serve are asked to arrive at Martha's Table, located at 2114 14th Street, N.W. (3 blocks from U St/Shaw METRO Station), between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. on date of service. The group receives a brief overview of the program and then leaves by 5:00 to drive to 2nd and New Jersey Ave. N.W., where dinner is served to the homeless by the NPC members. We return to Martha's Table between 6:00 and 6:15.

Contact Gabe Chikes, gabe.chikes@verizon.net for additional information or availability. Since there are relatively few slots, space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

NEW!!! For those who would want to be involved on a more regular basis, we are looking for another individual to drive the van of NPC members every other month. If interested, contact Gabe ASAP. (posted week of 08/22/11)
