37 students bag and deliver over 200 candy bags
37 students in 萝莉原创's brought Halloween cheer to Mary's Shelter, a local agency that addresses pregnancy, parenting, and youth homelessness, by packing and delivering 200 candy bags.
"I wanted to put a smile on someone's face and remind them that they can still partake in Halloween festivities despite difficult circumstances," said Lauren Janson, president of the Circle K Club. Reflecting on the event, Janson added that the most rewarding part of it all was "dropping off the 200 Halloween candy bags and seeing the smile and gratitude on their faces."
Circle K International is a service-driven organization, dedicated to fostering leadership through community service. The 萝莉原创 student chapter's goal is to engage students in hands-on service projects that make a difference in their communities, embodying 萝莉原创's mission of community service and civic engagement. This event is an annual tradition for the club, and for its members, it's a powerful reminder of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
"I hope to leave a positive impact on the people of Mary's Shelter and be a reminder to them that there are people out in the world that want to help," said Katelyn Smith, 萝莉原创 Circle K club media coordinator. "Through doing service projects, I enjoy learning how the things we do change people's lives for the better. I am all about giving to others since that's what makes me happy. When I know that I made a difference, it's a confidence booster for me and a sense of motivation that inspires me to continue putting others first."
