Summit Neighborhood Association seeks board members and community volunteers

Are you new to Summit and looking to meet new people and get more involved in the community? Are you a long-time Summit resident with a great idea for improving the neighborhood? Do you have a passion project in mind with which you’d like help and support bringing to life? Are you looking to connect with others to work on grassroots projects? If any of these spark your interest, come join us on the SNA Board. Joining the Board is a great way to get to know the neighborhood and your neighbors while volunteering on excellent projects such as food pantry support, tree planting, street improvements, park development, the Rochambeau Library outdoor classroom, and more. The SNA holds monthly meetings at 7pm on the third Monday of each month, unless a holiday or other event necessitates a change. SNA posts meeting notices on its Facebook page and other social media in the week prior to the meeting date. Meetings are open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend. We meet at India Restaurant and on Zoom. The link can be requested by emailing snaprov@gmail.com. We hope to see you there!

The SNA continues to support Your Neighborhood Food Pantry at 533 Branch Avenue by helping to coordinate some of their volunteers, as well as raising funds for this coming holiday season. They are currently seeking additional food or financial donations to provide Thanksgiving meals for community members. For more information or to donate non-perishable goods or financial support, contact them at ynfp22@gmail.com or via their website at YNFP.org. Contact snaprov@gmail.com to join the volunteer email list. We’ll also share other volunteer opportunities as they arise. Learn more at SNA.Providence.RI.US –Submitted by Sharon Lee Waldman
