Hello social work students,

Welcome back to the new year of classes, I hope this finds you all doing well.  The UWSOM Family Medicine Interest Group has partnered with ROOTS on the Ave to cook breakfast for their clients on a monthly basis.  We are hoping to make this a great opportunity to have individuals from different health care professional programs to interact outside of the classroom.  Please sign-up for one of our breakfast crews!!

Here’s the link to see what shifts are available and to sign up: https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/thmrt

WHAT IS ROOTS? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO JOIN?

What is ROOTS?: ROOTS is a young adult shelter that provides local youth with a safe place to sleep and get a meal. The shelter is very close to the Health Sciences Building! It’s located at: 1415 NE 43rd St. The ROOTS website: http://www.rootsinfo.org/

If I join ROOTS, what will I be doing?   As a member of ROOTS, you will join a team of students (3-4 total) to make breakfast at the shelter only 1 morning per month from October until May (roughly a 2.5-hour commitment per month)! This is a really fun and manageable way to give back to the community and to get to know your peers. You DO NOT need to be a world-class chef! Meals can include scrambled eggs, sausage, tater tots, beans, pancakes, cinnamon toast, cereal, etc. If you do love cooking, have fun and get creative!

Not able to commit to be a part of a monthly breakfast crew, but still want to participate?

Not a problem, join our alternate list.  When we have a crew member not able to participate one day, we will call on the alternate list to help fill in.  Alternate list: https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/knfes
