Volunteer Profile: Jamell Joseph

Met Council volunteer, Jamell Joseph, held a Back-to-School Items Drive for our low income clients in Crisis Intervention and Family Domestic Violence. Jamell collected over 70 items of brand-new school supplies to be distributed to low income families.

Thank you to Jamell and everyone who donated to Met Council’s Back-to-School Items Drive! Your acts of charity enabled Met Council to perform deeds of kindness.

If you would like to host your own supply drive, Met Council is looking for volunteers to hold Emergency Kit Supply Drives as part of the nationwide United We Serve campaign. Please contact Julia Sherman at jsherman@metcouncil.org or (212)456-9526 if you are interested in helping out in this important initiative.

Safety First Event

As part of the nation-wide United We Serve campaign, Met Council is organizing a Safety First Event.

Sunday, August 16th
1:00pm-3:30pm
East side of Manhattan (at our low income senior residence)

The event will provide emergency preparedness cards for low-income seniors. We need volunteers to gather information, write the information onto the cards, laminate the cards, and distribute them out to the residents.

In the event of an emergency, the first information needed is medical information along with emergency phone numbers. By putting this information at the senior’s finger tips, we ensure that they are well prepared in case of a medical emergency.

To sign up, please e-mail volunteer@metcouncil.org or call Kelley at 212-453-9657.
