Date: Apr 1, 2021 at 12:00am to 11:59pm
If you complete any of these opportunities individually, please submit a personal MIC form! Be My Eyes: https://www.bemyeyes.com/ Be My Eyes is a free app that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call. *Helping two people will equal 1 service credit regardless of how far apart the dates are. CharityMiles: https://charitymiles.org/ Download the app, choose a charity that matters to you (or your chapter), open the app and move! For every mile you walk or run, you help earn money for the charity of choice, which is funded by a corporate sponsorship pool. You can also get sponsored by your friends. *You have to run/walk at least 0.1 miles for the app to count it as a donation on the app. Donate a Photo: https://www.donateaphoto.com/en_US Take a photo, make an impact. For every photo you share through the Donate a Photo app, Johnson & Johnson gives US$1 to a cause you care about. **5 photos will equal 0.5 hours of service. Freerice: https://freerice.com/categories/english-vocabulary As you play Freerice and answer the questions right, advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world. In the game, these payments are represented via grains of rice. The amount of money generated when you see an advertisement can vary, but is roughly equivalent to what the World Food Programme spends to purchase 5 grains of rice.
