In Case You Missed It
MLK Day of Service
It was great to see a group of LINK Mentors and Mentees come together to volunteer at Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange on January 20 for the MLK Day of Service! CCRx is a one-of-a-kind store dedicated to the reduction of material waste and the creative reuse of resources that would otherwise be discarded. The store is a valuable resource to Chicago teachers, artists, and nonprofits looking to find new life in surplus materials, supplies, and equipment.
Mentors and Mentees spent their time organizing and stocking donated materials. As one Mentor said, “I absolutely think that doing acts of service, especially for MLK Day, is important for everyone. I think it’s good for Mentees to see their Mentors involved in these kinds of activities.”
Special thanks to everyone who participated!
