Fwd: Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Winter Break/J-term!

by Dudley Public Service

Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Winter Break/J-term! Around town anytime between Tuesday, December 20 and Monday, January 23 and looking to share some holiday cheer? We and our guests would love to have your help at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter! No previous experience or training required--just a willingness to lend a helping hand. Shifts are as short as 2 hours--shift descriptions and map of our location are below. Please contact us at hshs.volunteer(a)gmail.com with any questions. About Us: The Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter is the only student-run homeless shelter in the nation, with a volunteer force of 150+. We are always in need of extra hands over school holidays. We hope you will join us! Sign-up for Winter Break/J-term (dinner on Tuesday 12/20 to breakfast on Monday 1/23): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApIEyYujHlt-dEZvakkxRDhLRkFnc3… Please forward this on to friends you think may be interested. We will appreciate all the help we can get! Thanks for your support, The Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter http://hshshelter.org _________________________ DESCRIPTION of SHIFTS ****************************** ********************** There are 4 shifts: Dinner: 6:45 PM - 9:15 PM Evening: 9:00 PM - 11:15 PM Overnight: 11 PM - 9:00 AM Breakfast: 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM *But if it is SATURDAY morning, then it is* [Friday] Overnight: 11 PM - 10:00 AM [Saturday] Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM BREAKFAST -- Come in bright and early to greet our guests as they begin to wake up! You'll be making breakfast and helping to clean the shelter (an invaluable service!) after all the guests leave at 8am. DINNER -- You'll be making and serving dinner, and perhaps be lucky enough to run on a food salvage trip or collect pastries from the many shops that donate to us. EVENING -- This is a relaxed time to visit with guests as they prepare for bed. It's usually very quiet and a great opportunity for some wonderful conversations. Help is also often needed in the kitchen to clean-up after dinner and prepare plates of food to hand out at the door. OVERNIGHT – You'll hang out with other volunteers and night-owl guests, basically having more good conversations, watching movies, doing laundry, reading, baking cookies, etc! This is a fantastic shift because it's a rare opportunity to have long conversations and get to know people well. Overnight volunteers often say it's the best shift! And never fear, we do take turns sleeping -- the night is typically divided into three sub-shifts and you will be asleep for two of them (there is a staff room with bunk beds, so you will be able to sleep 5-6 hours when it is not your turn to be awake). *The shelter is located at 66 Winthrop Street in the basement of the University Lutheran Church in Harvard Square (on the corner of Dunster and Winthrop Streets, next to the MAC and Pinocchio's Pizza).

Fwd: service opportunity this Sunday

by Dudley Public Service

Hello everyone, Please see the message below regarding a service opportunity this Sunday through the Harvard Interfaith Collaborative. Thanks, Janine ------------------------ Subject: Help Feed Thousands this Sunday! [image: thanksgivingFINAL (1).jpg] Are you interested in sharing and giving thanks in a day of interfaith community service and dialogue? The Harvard Interfaith Collaborative is hosting a food packaging event on Sunday, November 20th—the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Following the enormous success of this year’s 9/11 interfaith community service project, organized by the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, where more than 9,110 nutritious meals were packaged for food-insecure children, we hope to double that effort by packaging 20,000 meals to distribute during Thanksgiving week through the Kids Care program at Outreach and the Humanist Chaplaincy's new "Values in Action" Initiative. In addition, the event will include refreshments and facilitated dialogue on what motivates people of different faith and philosophical convictions to engage in service work. Who: You! (open to the public) What: Meal packaging service project for Kids Care Where: Student Organization Center at Hilles (SOCH) @ Radcliffe Quadrangle, Harvard University When: Noon–4:00pm, Sunday, November 20, 2011 Why: Celebrate Thanksgiving by giving to the community! Interested in donating to support this event? ChipIn! (All donations go directly to pay for the food supplies.) http://harvard911.chipin.com/interfaith-thanksgiving-20000-meal-packing
