Members of the group will have the opportunity to be involved in
several volunteer activities this semester. Among them will be our
continued support and aid with one of Amherst's soup kitchens, "Not
Bread Alone", participation in "Relay for Life".
We are also currently working on organizing a clinical volunteer
group with Cooley-Dickinson hospital in Northampton. In the past, our group has worked with "Not Bread Alone" on numerous occasions and even helped to fundraise over $1000.00 for the organization! We also raised nearly $150.00 by selling AIDS awareness ribbons on World AIDS Day December 1st. All of the proceeds went to an AIDS charity based in Boston, MA Some important dates to keep in mind:
Want to volunteer at the local soup kitchen? Sign up for one of our volunteer days and help the local community! Approximate time for this volunteer event is from 2:30PM - 5:30PM.Check out their website for more info: http://www.notbreadalone.org/ Wednesday, September 10th, 2009 – 0 Volunteers Needed Wednesday, October 8th, 2009 – 5 Volunteers Needed Wednesday, November 12th, 2009 – 5 Volunteers Needed Wednesday, December 3rd, 2009 – 5 Volunteers Needed
