Socially Distanced Volunteering

Volunteering with Proper Social Distancing

(Please share with Mrs. Bland photos or stories of how you are doing this):

• Write encouraging notes to our community leaders (health care workers, fire department, police, pastors, government officials, grocery store workers, etc.).

• Write encouraging notes or greeting cards to nursing home/care facilities who cannot have visitors (call the facility first to ensure they accept incoming paper).

• Write to military or veterans.

• Ask your faith-based leader (pastor) for addresses of shut-ins and write them letters.

• Tutor a classmate/friend virtually.

• Pick up litter.

• Do yard work for a neighbor.

• Check on an elderly neighbor and possibly run errands for them.

• Take your band instrument to an elderly person’s home and play for them on their front porch or lawn.

• Record yourself playing your musical instrument and share it with an elderly friend or family member.

• Check out volunteermatch.org and dosomething.org for other ideas.

• Zooniverse.org is a website that allows people to volunteer their time to compiling/analyzing data online for various projects/experiments.

• Volunteer for LibriVox.org, which provides free audiobooks of pubic domain works, read and recorded in all languages by volunteers.
