CJ 国内的朋友看到每日更新的“华盟在行动”，特别和国内几家企业朋友一起买并捐出三万个口罩。朋友告诉CJ，

“联系好了，相熟的企业说他们当时受到很多华侨捐赠，现在我们应该回馈支援的，先两万个。他们明天会送到我这儿，我想想办法看怎么寄出。我只是起个桥梁，在困难时期, 他们生产企业也想为大家做些好事❤️”  

太令人感动了！

帮助at-risk人群

联系需要负责人：CJ; 组织义工负责人：Angela; 联系当地其他组织和餐厅参加负责人：Peter

送出三个Costco 热 pizza 和20 份 All beef hot dog 给LifeWorks Youth Center。可他们看了我们送EMS 的home made meals, 申请下星期能否有home made meals. 😄

另外Camp Abbott 也急需社区的帮助，每天都要250 份meals, 华盟目前已有44 个家庭加入做饭义工，3/25 一发出出任务单，很快九个家庭就把名额报满。香云寺也答应继续做50 份餐食。

华盟派出两位义工去Restaurant depot 釆购所有食材，分成九份装在盒中分送到九家义工门口。献爱心的同时，保证安全，零接触。另外为了能用尽量低的成本做出可口健康营养的食物，成本每份控制在$1-$2。这次将要送出的是红烧或咖喱胡罗卜土豆洋葱烧鸡块加白饭。Peter 和一修共买了90 lb 鸡肉，100 lb 胡萝卜，50lb 土豆，100lb 洋葱。加上义工陆晓敏前几天买的50 lb 米，共近400 磅的食材，分成九箱，由义工红言，蒋维民和一修送去九个将要帮忙做饭的义工家门口。

Event Introduction:

As the city of Austin faces uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Austin Chinese American Network (ACAN) is committed now more than ever in serving our community. In support of our COVID-19 relief projects, such as free meal deliveries to homeless shelters, youth centers, and hospitals in Austin, ACAN and 优品教育 are introducing the Miles for Lives! Jog-a-Thon.

Targeted especially for the youth and college students in Austin, the Miles for Lives! Jog-a-Thon is a great way to continue exercising outside while making a difference! From March 28 to May 8, sponsors and parents from the community will pledge donations for each mile you run, and every single penny raised will go towards ACAN’s COVID-19 relief projects. Help serve your community, one step at a time!

Event Time: March 28 – May 8, 2020

New runners and donors can join at any time!

Information for Runners:

We encourage all students in our community, including college students back at home due to COVID-19, to participate as runners in the Jog-a-Thon. Our hope is that this will allow you to get out of the house and exercise in a way that also helps our city!

Some key things to remember:

➢ Disclaimer: Runners are required to follow city and county regulations surrounding COVID-19, including keeping a 6-foot distance from other people and not running as a group. As of March 24, Austin’s “stay-at-home” order leaves an exception for outdoor exercise. Please stay up to date with any COVID-19 related announcements from the city, county, and state.

➢ Each runner is responsible for their own safety. Please choose a safe running route in your neighborhood and avoid traffic and uneven surfaces to prevent injury. Minors must be accompanied by guardians or adults.

How to Participate:

➢ Step 1: Download and register in the free tracking app Strava. Then join our running club here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ACAN-relief. 

Note: You can get Strava for free through the Apple Store or Google Play. Remember to give Strava permission to access your device’s geolocation.

➢ Step 2: Register on ACAN’s Runner Registration Form

➢ Step 3: Tell your family and friends to sign up as donors for your miles! Other community members will also be able to donate towards your miles. ACAN will publish each runner’s weekly mileage on the Runner’s Mileage Summary Report so the community can know how much our runners have logged in!

➢ Step 4: Every time you run or walk outside, make sure to record your mileage on Strava in the “ACAN and 优品教育 COVID-19 Relief Jog-a-Thon” club.

Donors: 

Donors have multiple options to donate during the Miles for Lives! Jog-a-Thon.

Option 1: Donate per Runner

If you want to make donations tied to an individual runner’s mileage, please:

➢ Step 1: Select a runner from ACAN’s Strava running club page or from the Runner’s Mileage Summary Report.

➢ Step 2: Sign up on the Donation Per Runner Form anytime during the event. Please copy and paste the runner’s name directly from the Strava running club page or from the Runner’s Mileage Summary Report.

Note: Donation calculation starts from the first day the runner records their mileage in the Strava group.

➢ Step 3: The event administrator will calculate the donation amount and inform donors every Sunday. We ask that you pay the committed amount as soon as possible. You will be able to pay via Zeller, online on the ACAN website, by check, or through corporate match.

➢ If you want to increase your Match Ratio on a runner, please sign up for the runner again through the Donation Per Runner Form and select the Match Ratio that can be added on to your original Ratio. Administrators will add your new Match Ratio to your original Match Ratio and use the combined total to calculate future donations. For example, if in the first week you donate 1:1, but in the second week you decide to increase your Match Ratio and select 1:1 again, then starting that week you will donate 1:(1+1), or 1:2.

Option 2: Donate per Miles for Lives! Group Mileage

If you want your donation to match the total mileage of the entire Miles for Lives! Running Group, please:

➢ Step 1: Sign up through the Donation per Group Mileage Form at any time during the event.

Note: Donation calculation starts from the first day the group records its mileage in the Strava group.

➢ Step 2: The event administrator will calculate the donation amount and inform donors every Sunday. We ask that you pay the committed amount as soon as possible. You will be able to pay via Zeller, online on the ACAN website, by check, or through corporate match.

➢ If you want to increase your Match Ratio on a runner, please sign up again through the Donation per Group Mileage Form and select the Match Ratio that can be added on to your original Ratio. Administrators will add your new Match Ratio to your original Match Ratio and use the combined total to calculate future donations.
