Leading up to Thanksgiving Day, one YSP member joined members of the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) and around 30 other volunteers in Newark, New Jersey to help with a turkey distribution hosted by the United Community Corporation (UCC), a nonprofit organization that is one of the city’s oldest community action agencies. Taking place outside at the Westside Park Football Field on November 22, 2021, volunteers from many organizations and groups participated, including Senator Cory Booker. The YSP volunteer shared that he had tons of fun. There was lively music and the staff was “very friendly and excellent”. Lots of clothes and food was given away for free. UCC organizes events once or twice a month to help the city of Newark and help to inform and provide resources for residents in need on things such as where to get vaccines, rental assistance, food distribution, and more. They offer many volunteer opportunities and even paid positions. “I even had a guy hand me a card to be a firefighter”.
