Volunteers go out on our van on Thursday nights to East Boston to help distribute food, clothing, etc to our clients. In order to volunteer with OVP, you must be a BU graduate student (Med, GMS, SPH). If you are affiliated with BU and would like to help out, please email outreach@bu.edu. We will have a sign-up for the summer available in late May.
Here is how you can help:
- Send a tax-deductible donation for any amount to the address below (check payable to Outreach Van Project)
- Volunteer to work with OVP (see above)
- Share your skills as a physician, nurse, dentist, or health care worker, in treating the underserved.
- Organize a food or clothing drive in your community. For donations of food and clothing, please email outreach@bu.edu for more details.
- Send the necessary documents to the address below if your company has a matching gift program.
- Tell others about our work.
- Shop iGive.com and support the Outreach Van Project. It’s free, private, & easy. Shop the Mall at iGive.com. You’ll see familiar stores like Lands’ End, Office Depot, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Expedia, Barnes & Noble, and eBay to mention just a few. Up to 26% of each purchase gets donated to. Plus, if you shop within 45 days of joining, OVP will get an extra $5 donation, free. To start, visit: http://www.iGive.com/html/refer.cfm?memberid=352000&causeid=32338
