Missouri Campus Compact’s southwest region totaled over 2500 volunteers serving 5400 hours on MLK Day. Nationwide the MLK Day of Service mobilized over 15,000 unduplicated volunteers. In total, 15116 pounds of food were collected for food pantries, 83582 food kits were created, 719 at-risk youths were mentored, 4 new community gardens were created, 1 new library was established, 532 letters were written to troops, 537 gift packages were created, 8 murals were painted, 4924 hygiene kits were prepared, and 9 classrooms were painted. Volunteers also held a tax preparing event for low-income individuals, a financial planning event, and 7 disaster preparedness training sessions. MOCC office staff visited Missouri Southern State University to participate in their MLK Day projects and welcome breakfast. It was a pleasure to see the grant dollars at work and the impact each project made in Joplin. Great job to Sandra Lovett and Rikki Smith! |
