Looking for a way to connect while social distancing?

During this unprecedented period in history, we are all trying to do our part to keep loved ones healthy by staying home. As we prepare to enter a second month of social distancing, things may be feeling a bit mundane. How about using the time to connect with your family in a way that busy schedules often prohibit? HOPE has a month-long challenge this April just for you! Here is how it works.

Here’s how the challenge works

Below is a list of daily themes to help with pre-planning and preparing the perfect image for each day (aka dig out your old photo albums). Then, starting April first, the theme for the day will be posted as a reminder on this blog, Facebook and Instagram. All you need to do is find the perfect photo and share it with #SHAREaSTORYwithHOPE and tag @HOPEorganizing. The hashtag is important because the person that participates the most days will be entered to win a prize*. The photo can be from your past or present. You may even want to do both and have your kids recreate old photos from your youth. Get creative with it! Tell the stories that go with the photos you select with those you love and spend a little time each day connecting.

Do yourself a favor and “record” these stories by taking a video or write in a document. We will be sharing ideas throughout the month with tips celebrating these stories.

Also, be sure to check back here often to see stories and images from HOPE Organizing.
