In compliance with Dartmouth’s most recent Covid guidelines, Geisel’s annual medical student Community Service Day took place in an outdoor tent on June 6, 2021. Spearheaded by Class of 2024 Community Service Committee members Andrew Lee, Phuong Nguyen, and Armin Tavakkoli, the class-wide event also involved Class of 2024, wellness, SNAP, and MEC representatives.
Matched with 20 families from the Claremont Soup Kitchen and Upper Valley Family Placement Program, thirty medical student volunteers purchased and packed care packages containing food, clothing, hygiene products, and household items based on each family’s needs. The boxes, along with a personalized card, will be delivered to the community partners for distribution.

Vermont Business Magazine Bar Harbor Bank & Trust’s employee giving program, Casual for a Cause, recently surpassed the $100,000 mark of total donations made to nonprofit organizations since the program launched in 2018. More than 53 organizations across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have received donations through the program.
Casual for a Cause gives Bank employees the opportunity to dress casually on Fridays in exchange for a bi-weekly payroll deduction made to a pool of funds collected during each quarter. The employees then vote on the nonprofits to receive their contributions. The program is entirely voluntary, and each employee sets his/her own level of giving. Approximately 2/3 of the Bank’s employees participate in Casual for a Cause.
