School of Law staff donating items to their Immigration Clinic clients (from left to right: Kevin Orozco, Roxana Quintero, Gaby Moraga, and Donna Creasman)

A shoutout to the School of Law staff who volunteer with the School of Law Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic for nearly four months. Each Tuesday, Roxana Quintero has organized food deliveries for their Immigration Clinic clients who are experiencing food scarcity during COVID. Many of the Immigration Clinic staff have been involved.

With the election coming up, America is facing a record shortage of poll workers this year due to the pandemic. Our democracy depends on people who make sure elections run smoothly and everyone's vote is counted. If you're able, sign up to be a poll worker in your community. But, first things first, don't forget to register to vote!
The McCarthy webpage can connect you with organizations looking for volunteers.
University Ministry provides recommendations:

SF Glide Volunteer: In-person or virtual options

In-person: Accepting small volunteer groups (four people) for breakfast shift (6:30–9:30 a.m.). They are trying to work on a “shift sponsorship” or “adopt a shift” basis during COVID-19 so as to keep volunteer pool smaller for safety reasons during the COVID-19 pandemic

Virtual: “Virtual” opportunities available around drives and care packages, but these do require some sort of monetary commitment

If interested, contact Victoria Pinto (vpinto@glide.org)

Volunteer with Refugee and Immigrant Transitions

If you and/or your department are involved in a volunteer effort, we want to know about it. Please share here.

CURRENT CHALLENGES

Go Serve: Community Wellness

Sept. 1–30

Studies have long shown the mutual benefits of volunteering for both the person donating their time and the community served. Additionally, volunteering is easier than ever thanks to volunteering apps, social media, and other online resources. But in this digital age, we are actually volunteering less as our time seems to be more consumed by other priorities. This September, GoUSF invites you to “be the change you wish to see in the world” by helping others!

In this community wellness challenge, check in each time that you volunteer, indicate the number of minutes you volunteer, and share your good deed in the comments box.

EVENTS

Take the COVID-19 Canvas Course

If you're a student living on campus, you must. If you're faculty or staff, you should.

As an added incentive for everyone to complete this course, all USF staff and faculty will be sent a USF-branded face covering to their home address upon completion of the course. And, another bonus, all who completed the course by end of day Sept. 8 have been entered into a raffle. The winner will be announced today via the USFWorks announcement banner.

More prize opportunities! In addition, all staff and faculty who complete the course will automatically be entered into a monthly raffle to win a USF tote filled with goodies from some of our university vendors. Raffle winners will receive an email notification and prizes will be sent to their home address. The raffle will be held monthly from August through December 2020.

Star Route Farms Produce Pick-up
