We will be assisting the Northern Ohio Red Cross with their Sound the Alarm campaign, part of an effort to install free smoke alarms in at-risk communities across the country. No training is needed. We will assemble at the Estabrook Rec Center in Cleveland's Old Brooklyn neighborhood and will be assigned to small 2- and 3-person teams, ideally as a Yale alum group or groups.
Masks can be worn and must be worn if households ask, and will be provided if you don't bring one.
