Chamber music for food - tomorrow, 8pm!

by Dudley Public Service

Hello everyone, Please join Dudley Public Service for a special chamber music concert tomorrow: In Massachusetts, 11% of people (and 18% of children) live with daily food insecurity. The Music for Food concert series is a Boston-based hunger-relief initiative where listeners are asked at the door to donate money or non-perishable food. Donations of any size are accepted, and all contributions go to the Greater Boston Food Bank. We're planning to attend the next concert tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 20) at 8 pm in Brown Hall at the New England Conservatory. We'll meet at Dudley House at 7 pm. The program will include Bartok Duos, Berio Duos, and Brahms F Major Quintet. Please RSVP by 6 pm tomorrow to dudleypublicservice(a)gmail.com. Thanks! Janine

Fwd: Community Service opportunity

by Dudley Public Service

*Volunteer Opportunity at Beacon Hospice* Beacon Hospice* * provides comfort and dignity to those with terminal illnesses by creating an environment of hope, comfort, and dignity for the patient and family. Beacon Hospice volunteers become a vital part of the hospice team, providing companionship and support to our patients and their families. Volunteers visit patients and might talk together, listen to stories, pray together, read aloud, play games or simply offer a calm presence. This is a great opportunity for students to experience direct patient interaction in a one-on-one setting. We offer a free hospice training program to prepare individuals for our volunteer opportunities and to answer any questions they may have. During the course, individuals receive training in the philosophy of hospice, end of life medical issues, family dynamics, communicating with patients, grief and spiritual care. Our next training begins *Thursday, March 1st from 6-9pm * at our office in Charlestown. Trainings can also be arranged on campus as necessary. Individuals interested in volunteering with Beacon Hospice can visit www.beaconhospice.com for more information. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 617-242-8370 or megan.curtis(a)amedisys.com.

Fwd: [Hshs-break] Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Spring Break!

by Dudley Public Service

*Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Spring Break!* **** Around town anytime between *Friday, March 9 and Monday, March 19*? Join us at the shelter this Spring Break! Break shifts are a great way to "try out" the shelter, so if you have friends or roommates who've been curious, now's the time. 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. Spring break shifts run from *dinner on Friday, March 9 through breakfast on Monday, March 19*. Accordingly, that means that regular volunteers are * not *responsible for shifts that fall in this time range--regular shifts will end with breakfast on Friday, March 9 and resume with dinner on Monday, March 19. * * *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 Spring Break (dinner on Friday, March 9 through breakfast on Monday, March 19)* LINK: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApIEyYujHlt-dFRHTTlVOFI1V25KV0… ** 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 - 8:30 AM Breakfast: 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM *But if it is SATURDAY morning, then it is* [Friday] Overnight: 11 PM - 9:30 AM [Saturday] Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 9:30 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 stay awake 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. People often say it's the best shift! And never fear, we do take turns sleeping -- the night is typically divided into three shifts and you will be awake for one of them (there is a staff room with bunk beds, so you will be able to sleep 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).
