On December 10, 2023, the AYLUS Twin Cities Branch members went to Jerry’s Foods in Edina to help fundraise for AYLUS from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, totaling 5 hours. The volunteers bagged groceries, helped customers carry their groceries out, and put away store items such as shopping carts and baskets. After the event came to a close, we raised $980, an impressive feat. The fundraiser was very successful. and it was great knowing that the money we raised would allow us to continue our efforts to help the community. It was a great experience interacting with the customers and building community, which made the fundraiser even better.
Participants: Kai Huang (5 hours), Tony Liu (5 hours), Jeffrey Chen (5 hours), Hannabella Li (5 hours), Zachary Li (5 hours), Penny Pang (5 hours), Kaining Zhang (5 hours), Claire Cao (2.5 hours), Lucy Zhang (2.5 hours)
