THIS PROJECT IS BEING SUBMITTED BY THE ROTARACT CLUB OF ASPIRE NEW YORK
Project Title: Warmth and Safety for Gig Workers
Organized by: Rotaract club of Aspire New York
As winter approaches, gig workers such as delivery drivers and ride-share operators face significant challenges. Many of them work outdoors in harsh conditions, which can lead to health issues from prolonged exposure to cold weather. Additionally, ongoing concerns about respiratory illnesses make masks essential for their safety. There is a pressing need for affordable winter gear to support these essential workers in our community.
Project Goals: Our project aims to provide over 100 gig workers with warm gloves and protective scarf masks, ensuring they can perform their jobs safely and comfortably during the winter months.
How the Project Will Meet These Needs:
Distribution of Gear:
We will procure high-quality, insulated gloves and scarf masks designed for outdoor work. By distributing these items, we aim to enhance the safety and well-being of gig workers this winter.
Community Awareness:
We will engage the community in recognizing the importance of gig workers and the challenges they face, fostering a sense of solidarity and support.
Timeline:
Week 1-2: Launch fundraising campaign to gather resources through Rotary and community engagement.
Week 3: Finalize partnerships with suppliers for gloves and masks.
Week 4: Place orders and prepare for distribution.
Week 5: Distribute gloves and masks to identified gig workers.
Week 6: Collect feedback from recipients and report on the project's impact.
