Dear Stranger – a letter-writing project in Oregon

This Oregon-based humanities organization is encouraging letter-writing as a way to bridge social distance. Dear Stranger started in 2014 as a way of bringing people together through letter-writing. Each year a theme is set, but this year people are choosing to write about how they are living through the current crisis.
