Jackson, WY (June 19, 2022) – This spring, People Spread Love (PSL) has organized their pilot project, “PSL Starter Kit Program.” This program empowers community volunteers to participate at home, in the classroom, or in a community setting with basic supplies and necessary instruction to ignite curiosity in this act of writing letters. The kit provides volunteers with all they need to write “notes of love” to those that are facing adversity all across the country. The kits include card paper, ready-made cards, envelopes, mailers, a Love Ambassador card, one-page Love Templates Love Slips, postage stamps, return address labels, stickers, an activity sheet, a coloring book page, a pen, and a PSL pencil. Ample enclosed instruction will encourage them to participate as an official Love Ambassador and an option to attend a Virtual Volunteer Event that can guide them further.
To sign-up for a Starter Kit fill out a Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement and request to “Pick up a Starter Kit in Jackson, WY.” All volunteers who take a kit must be signed up so they may send them a follow-up survey to collect data on the effectiveness of the kits so PSL may improve upon them next year!
PSL Starter Kits are Ready
On Wednesday, June 29th between 10:30 am – 1:30 pm the kits will be ready to pick up at Powderhorn Park. For those already signed up, come by Powderhorn Park to claim your kit.
Volunteers are still needed to help assemble, sort, and organize the pick-up of the starter kits. They will also be able to take a kit home with them at the end of the volunteer opportunity!
Thank you to the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole for funding our Starter Kit program. This project is also funded in part by an Arts For All grant provided by the Town of Jackson and Teton County.
A very special thanks to Emily Gomez with One22 for translating our instructions to broaden our reach of love and kindness. As part of the curation of this kit, PSL wanted to support artists. You will find ready-made cards, stickers, an activity sheet, coloring book page by these incredible artists: Little Scout Creative, Bird and Buffalo, Jenny Dowd, Barking Goat Studios, Evol-eye, and Holly Sage Art. And a special additional artist, our winner of our PSL Art Contest, Cady Gregg, a 15-year-old from Salt Lake City, Utah. Her artwork was adapted for a PSL greeting card and those are also included in the kits.
PSL is thankful for the opportunity to provide these kits to the Jackson Hole community and hopes to continue offering them year after year.
