Immediate Need: Relief Kit Volunteers Today and Sunday

The generosity of Lilly has been overwhelming, and we are deeply grateful for the support we’ve received.

We urgently need 10 additional volunteers this afternoon at the City Life Center in Gary, and we also need volunteers on Sunday beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Today, nearly 30 volunteers have been helping unload trucks and assemble relief kits for communities impacted by recent events. Thanks to their efforts, hundreds of kits have already been prepared. However, trucks continue to arrive, and we need additional help to complete today’s work before tomorrow’s deliveries begin.

Even one or two hours of your time can make a meaningful difference.

If you cannot participate, please share this message with your network.
