      We reprise our 2020 and 2021 Yale CLE Virtual Day of Service project contributing letters of love to the elderly in need of uplift and encouragement.  In 2020, we helped set a record for the nonprofit started by Jacob Cramer, '22 (Ben Franklin) -- 14,234 letters of love sent to 233 senior communities in the United States, UK, Australia and Canada. The Cleveland effort sparked national and international interest. See some of the photos of appreciative recipients, letter writers and helpers at the project's Instagram account.

      This virtual project is again part of our Yale CLE Day of Service, now marking its 14th year. So, take a moment anytime in the month of May to handwrite 14 more letters of love, warmth and encouragement (large, legible writing please!), keeping away from religion, politics and personal topics, illustrate with colorful art, if you care to do so, and mail with their envelopes to

    • Yale Day of Service: NH, Portsmouth - Gather Mobile Market

      Add to Calendar 2022-05-06T09:00:00 2022-05-06T11:30:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: NH, Portsmouth - Gather Mobile Market

      Gather’s Mobile Market is a program focused on helping break down barriers to food access by setting up a free farmer's market-style food distribution program in key community spaces. Volunteers' responsibilities include unloading food from Gather vehicle, tent sent up, food distribution, and clean up. This event takes place a day before the official Day of Service because Gather does not operate the market on Saturdays.
       
      This is a judgement-free zone; Gather works hard to give folks a sense of shopping with dignity, hence our choice-model distributions.  

      • Expect to serve between 130-180 households throughout the entire day. This particular site is one where Gather sees a great need.
      • Please arrive promptly by 9:00am to meet the Mobile Market team/Gather vehicles.
      • This event is outdoors, rain or shine.
      • Water is provided-but feel free to bring a reusable water bottle

      Dress: Layers are always a good option as the temp can vary depending on how busy you are. Closed toe shoes are mandatory

      COVID protocols: At this time, masks are optional.

      Invisible Hands was founded in March, 2020 amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to delivery necessities to elderly, sick, homebound, and people with disabilities. Within a few months, the Yalie-founded organization had recruited 10,000+ volunteers who delivered more than $1Million in food and medical supplies throughout New York, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, and Philadelphia.

      In this Day of Service project, volunteers will make phone calls to thank to the most loyal volunteers who support Invisible Hands. Invisible hands will provide a script for these phone calls, and callers can participate from anywhere with phone/internet access. 

      Registrants will receive a Zoom link via email the day before the event. Computer is recommended (not tablet or mobile phone) in addition to a phone. Minimum age recommended is 22+.

      4. After you sign in or create an account, look for our group volunteer shift on the calendar.
      5. Click the “Sign Up” button to the right of our group’s volunteer shift.

      Each volunteer will receive a confirmation email when signed up successfully.

      Before You Arrive, Don’t Forget!

      - All volunteers must wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth at all times.
      - Do not volunteer if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
