Volunteering at Elijah's Promise Soup Kitchen is a great way to make a positive impact on the community. Pictured here are members of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School executive team who volunteered to serve in the kitchen earlier this month.  If you are considering participating with your team, here are some steps to get involved:

Sign Up for a Volunteer Shift:

• Individuals or groups of five or fewer can sign up for a volunteer shift at Elijah's Promise by visiting the volunteering page on their website: Volunteering for Elijah's Promise.
• For larger groups, it's recommended to email Chef Chrissy Banks at Chrissy.Banks@elijahspromise.org to coordinate the logistics.

Consider Making Donations:

• If you're unable to volunteer but still want to contribute, consider making donations of items that are in high demand. The listed items include peanut butter, industrial-sized cans of tuna fish, canned chicken, peas, carrots, corn, green beans, marinara sauce, olive oil, and water bottles.

Coordinate Donations Drop-off:

• All donations can be dropped off at 18 Neilson St., New Brunswick, between 8 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. Ensure that the items you donate align with the specified high-demand items.

Spread the Word:

• Encourage others in your community or within the RWJMS network to participate in volunteering or making donations. Share this information through internal communication channels, social media, or other platforms to raise awareness.

Document and Share Your Experience:

• If possible, document your team's volunteering experience through photos or testimonials and share them with the RWJMS community. This can inspire others to get involved and create a positive impact.

By participating in this initiative, you not only contribute to the well-being of the community but also foster a sense of collaboration and teamwork within your team. Volunteering together can be a powerful bonding experience!
