Hey Everyone! I'm Mimi Aboubaker, founder of Perfect Strangers, a COVID-19 national non-profit providing free delivery of groceries and meals and essential goods to homebound and vulnerable populations at risk for exposure to the coronavirus. We currently serve Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and we've been covered in Good Morning America, Axios, Boston Business Journal, SF Gate, Press Release, among others. We're currently delivering 20,000+ meals per month for the City of San Francisco and scaling our efforts as the city's needs and emergency response programs continues to grow. Our operations extend to all other Bay Area counties (e.g. Alameda, Marin, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties) as well. If you're looking for a way to get involved, work at a company that organizes volunteering days, or know of others that would be interested in getting involved, please sign up on our website at weareperfectstrangers.org/volunteer and put Elpha down as your referral source. We're partnered with car rental and ride sharing companies and have some resources available if you're interested in getting involved but don't have a car. Feel free to also email me ([email protected]) or comment on this post if you have any questions!
stephanieharrison·Jul 14, 2020stephanieharrison·Jul 14, 2020Mimi, I am so impressed by what you have done and want to spotlight it! I run a global community called The New Happy and profile New Happy Heroes every week (people like you, who use their skills and talents to make our world a better place in a way that is fulfilling for them, too.) Would you be up for being profiled? I'd love to share your story. Let me know!!! <3
