Volunteers needed to distribute books and food — check out these specific needs

posted by Robbin
June 24, 2017

 
VOLUNTEERING WITH UNITED WAY IS MEANINGFUL AND FUN!

United Way of Greater New Haven is expanding our support this summer around two critical community needs: access to food and access to books. Kids and teens do not stop needing healthy meals when school is out, often making summer the toughest time for families relying on school food programs. Also, summer months can allow for severe learning loss, when students lose achievement gains they made during the previous school year. United Way will increase access to food and books this summer to support our most vulnerable children and families.

Pick one date to volunteer with us or join us for as many dates as you can make. You don’t have to bring anything with you, and you don’t need any special clothes or equipment. Just bring a willingness to hand out either food or books. Some volunteers will also read with local children at these events.

Email jteta@uwgnh.org to reserve your spot today. All volunteers will get a LIVE UNITED tshirt and we know you’ll have a great time helping us build a healthier, smarter community.

What better way to tune up and wind down on a Sunday afternoon than with outdoor yoga on the Connecticut shoreline? Michelle Morgan will bring her “yoga for every-body” program to the lawn of the historic Pardee-Morris House on Sunday, June 25, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., weather permitting, with cancellations announced via social media. The free classes will be offered again on July 30 and August 13.

Morgan’s vinyasa-style yoga classes are open to all ages and abilities, with various modifications offered for those looking to challenge their bodies and minds and those seeking a more gentle practice. For those who wish to stay after the class, a short, 10-minute introduction to guided meditation session will follow.

Morgan is a member of the 108 Monkeys Street Bodhi Team, practicing justice through yoga across the state. She also teaches children’s yoga for Full of Joy Yoga, and after school programs with Yo! Kid Yoga. In addition to community and small-group instruction, she teaches several classes a week in New Haven schools, with kids ranging from pre-K to grade12. After practicing yoga for many years, she began teaching in 2014 when she discovered 30 yoga mats in her son’s school basement. She holds certificates in yoga for children, and 200-Hour Service Yoga training from 108 Monkeys with a focus on trauma-informed practices and making yoga accessible to all.
