Did you know that MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities?
This year, we are partnering with World Vision to assemble 144 backpacks for underserved elementary school children. Each Kit helps build self-esteem and frees up family resources for other essentials such as food, medicine, and utilities. With these essential tools comes the opportunity to learn, setting the foundation for a brighter future.
Here is what is included in the assembly. Please consider coming out for 10-15 minutes of your time to support this great cause. It will be held in the SAC (basement level of Kellogg Hall). For those coming from the community, we have easy parking on the corner of Whitman and College Avenue.
