Social Purpose Works is the latest innovative program offering of Metropolitan Family Service. Volunteerism is a key component of a nonprofit’s ability to deliver on its mission’s promise. What’s unique about Social Purpose Works is the intentional focus on using professionally skilled volunteers (pro bono) to tackle capacity building projects for your organization!

Last Thursday, MFS Hunger Relief programs held a Vietnamese cooking class at West Powellhurst, led by MFS Hunger Relief AmeriCorps member Thu Le, and two Vietnamese community members. They taught parents, students and volunteers how to make Vietnamese salad rolls and peanut sauce, sticky coconut rice, and a Vietnamese chicken and vegetable soup. 🥥🍲🍴
