Let us tell you a little about us:
Uncle Sam's Immigrant Café (USImmigrantCafe.org) is an online platform celebrating and promoting our country’s immigrant restaurateurs, their unique cuisine and dream of building a successful American business. We celebrate American diversity in food and culture and want to emphasize that, despite our differences, we are one country where everyone unites around the table.
Volunteers create reviews of their favorite restaurant and include a story about the business owner and their journey.
When the pandemic hit our regular publication schedule came to a halt - we are making plans to return and we need your help.
The task:
You will review our existing story/review library and update the posts based on the current situation (did they close, change hours, etc.).
You will reach out to our existing roster of volunteer writers with updates and solicit/schedule either a follow-up for the existing restaurant or a story about a new restaurant.
Commitment:
We estimate this entire project will take 25-40 hours, this can be divided up over multiple days/weeks, we are flexible.
More opportunities with USIC

Mission Statement
USIC has two unique missions: 1) To inspire people, especially older adults to volunteer regardless of age or abilities. 2) To share the stories of immigrant restaurateurs and their pursuit of the American Dream.
Description
USIC through our Volunteer Wisdom project will showcase inspirational volunteers in their 80's, 90's and beyond who share their stories of service to their communities. The volunteers will share their wisdom on the topic of volunteerism and how volunteering has contributed to their life satisfaction and longevity. This new project is set to launch later in 2024 as a You Tube channel. Our hope is to inspire others to become engaged in their own communities.
USIC through the Uncle Sam's Immigrant Café website shares the stories of immigrant restaurateurs in pursuit of their American Dream. In depth stories about the immigrants with commentary and photos of the food are included. Our hope is these stories celebrate American diversity... to show that despite our differences we are one country where everyone dreams of a better life.
