So What Else and our Baltimore community partner 4MyCity are looking for 1 to 2 people who can commit 1 day a week, Monday - Friday, either 10AM to 2PM or 11AM to 3PM, to work on a special summer project for 4MyCity.
The volunteer duties are not onerous - creating food bags for the homeless, for city children and for back to school packs. This is a targeted effort as part of our ongoing food recovery and distribution efforts.
Together, SWE and 4MyCity save millions of tons of good food from going to waste each year. Food that would otherwise end up in landfills is rescued and distributed to those in need.
If you can spare a few hours a week, your help with this project would have a tremendous impact on the lives of those we feed and provide SWE-4MyCity with the capacity to continue to meet the demands of hunger relief in our communities.
To register please email swevolunteer@gmail.com with your contact information and the day(s) of the week (M-F) that you are available.
Please note that you need to commit to the same day each week; e.g. if you are able to serve on Monday from 10AM to 2PM, you would serve each week on Monday from 10AM to 2PM.
THANK YOU!

Mission Statement
So What Else's mission is to improve the lives of children and families living in underserved communities in the Baltimore-Washington Metro Area by providing food security, access to basic necessities, and high-quality out-of-school time programs in literacy, athletics, and the visual and performing arts while inspiring young people to give back to the community by creating volunteer opportunities for citizens of all ages.
Description
So What Else (SWE) ... can we do to help? is a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 and focused on building strong, vibrant and resilient communities through direct programming and in partnership with allied organizations. Our primary programming embraces two key areas: Food Security and Youth Development Programs.
SWE started with Youth programming and added Food Security as we witnessed the massive economic dislocations caused by the C19 Pandemic and the consequent explosion in food insecurity. SWE and its community partners operate several Food Relief programs in Montgomery and surrounding counties, in Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
SWE needs volunteers who share our passion for service and seek to have an immediate and lasting impact upon the lives and fortunes of those we serve. Our volunteers are essential to our ability to deliver reliable, accessible and high-quality education programming and food security services.
SWE welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds, experiences and capabilities. Our greatest needs at present are for Food Pantry helpers, Bulk Food Recovery & Distribution Warehouse workers, Delivery & Distribution drivers and Teacher's Aides / Classroom Assistants.
Please contact swevolunteer@gmail.com to share your area of interest and learn more about volunteering with SWE. Visit sowhatelse.org to learn more about our programs and impact! Thanks!
