CENTURIONS ALUMNI VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE RECAP
As a focus for 2023, the Centurions Alumni Board is elevating awareness around regional housing insecurity and activating its reach to work toward proactive solutions. The Board organized volunteer opportunities for alumni, a coat-drive, and raised funds for Community LINC to kick things off, resulting in:
- Cleaning 4 refurbished apartments in 4 hours for families to move into with the help of nearly 20 alumni.
- Donating more than 50 heavy winter coats.
- Funding holiday gifts for a family of 7, with the $800 raised.
Community LINC is the largest single site provider for homeless services in the KC metropolitan area. Learn how you can get involved in ending family homelessness here.
