Members from the Greater Buffalo Branch helped empower refugees in their community by starting the year off strong with a school supply drive! Aylus volunteers donated much needed school supplies and helped spread the word of our drive in support of Journey’s End Refugee Services. From backpacks to pencils, scissors and more, volunteers accepted donations from members throughout our community at our annual Asian Food and Cultural Festival booth while raising funds with exciting ideas! Volunteers sold balloons animals, plates and Chinese caligraphy, with all proceeds going back into the school supply drive to buy even more supplies!
Emma Zhang’s involvement includes: 7/20/23 – Make poster 1.5 hours; 8/3/23 – 8/11/23 – Buy school supplies 6 hours; 8/5/23 – Make fund raising board 1 hour; 8/13/23 – organize school supplies 2 hours; 8/16/23 – deliver school supplies and tour journey end 2 hours.
