For the past several years, Westchester has been the site of many volunteer events. In 2018, activities planned in the region include serving food to the homeless in White Plains, cleaning up a school garden in Garrison, and sprucing up several areas in Poughkeepsie.
One new activity, coordinated by Yale alumni Jason Sandler '16 MD and Yang Li '12, involves helping to build a house for Habitat for Humanity in Yonkers. Yale volunteers will work on the construction of a new home and will have a chance to get hands construction-dirty from framing, assembling drywall, painting, landscaping and siding.
Yale volunteers won't need to bring their own construction equipment. Habitat for Humanity supervisors will be present and will provide tools and equipment. They will also instruct and guide. More specific instructions (where to go, what to wear, what you will do, etc.) will be provided after volunteers register.
Habitat for Humanity, 30 years old in Westchester, has built or renovated over 800 houses in the area. Click YDoS to register and volunteer May 12.
