This is a group for caring neighbors to organize and plan meals, share resources, food and inspiration to cook and serve potluck meals for the Hawthorne Park Potluck. Hawthorne Park Potluck volunteers feed from 50-150 unhoused and/or food insecure families, veterans, senior citizens and other marginalized community members every day. It takes a village, and we are requesting more community helpers and other community groups to be part of the caring network for our most vulnerable neighbors. Here is how you can get involved: ❤️Cooking meals ❤️Donating ingredients ❤️Serving lunch at the park ❤️Hosting a lunch with a team ❤️Financial support Sign-up here: https://www.hawthorneparkpotluck.org/signup

We serve under the Catalpa tree next to the two trash cans. (If it rains a lot we will move under the overpass on the other side of the parking lot.) We could always use more paper towels, gloves, paper plates, 8 oz. cups, 12 oz. bowls, and plastic silverware and other daily supplies.
