Cast your vote in the FAS Dean’s Office Holiday Celebration poll!

This year, the FAS Dean’s Office will donate funds that would ordinarily have been spent on holiday parties to three New Haven-based organizations who do vital work to help our local community thrive:

• New Haven Reads: Increasing literacy through tutoring, educational family support, and a community book bank.
• Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen: Serving people who are experiencing homelessness or living in poverty by providing food assistance and services that promote health, community, and equity.
• IRIS: Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services: Helping refugees and other displaced people on the road to self-sufficiency by providing lifesaving support during their transition to life in the United States.

We invite you to vote and choose your favorite cause; our donation will be divided between the three organizations based on the proportion of votes.

Everyone who votes will be entered in our holiday raffle! Prizes will include signed copies of prizewinning books by FAS faculty, and gift cards for treats, experiences, and more from favorite New Haven-area small businesses that we are eager to support, including Crepes Choupette, Atticus Bookstore and Cafe, Anchor Spa, Book Trader Cafe, Hull’s Art Supply, Walker Loden, Christian Shoe Repair, and many others.

Voting closes at 12:00 PM on Friday, December 18. Raffle winners will be announced soon afterwards.

Thank you for participating!
