Yalies around the world will be gathering in May to give back to the community in a variety of ways. Here is one opportunity for service in Vermont: On Saturday, May 11, join fellow Yalies at Josh’s House in Colchester to support Vermont veterans. Thanks to one of our own, Dr. Laura McGevna Nelson, Yale College 2001, for organizing this event. We’ll be gathering at 11:30 AM to donate food and prepare lunch.

Many of our veterans are in need of support, grappling with food or housing insecurity and chronic illnesses including PTSD. Josh’s House is a non-profit recreational center whose entire mission is caring for these veterans.

Do you love to cook? We are signed up for their meal train on May 11. So we need to donate enough food to feed 40-50 people. We’ll also help spruce up the grounds and stock the pantry with non-perishable items. (You don’t need to donate items to participate.) It’s for a great cause and a remarkably appreciative group!

To volunteer for this Day of Service, contact Laura McGevna Nelson.
