On December 14, 2024, the AYLUS Twin Cities Branch members went to Kowalski’s Markets in Edina to help fundraise for ICA from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, totaling 4 hours. The volunteers helped customers carry their groceries out, put away carts, and send groceries out. After the event came to a close, we managed to raise just under $1000, an incredible accomplishment. We hosted a successful fundraiser, and it was fantastic donating the money to ICA, a local food shelf dedicated to fighting for food security. Interacting with the customers was very special, knowing that the customer’s generosity would feed the community, making the experience even better.
Participants: Kai Huang (4hrs), Tony Liu (4hrs), Claire Cao (4hrs), Lucy Zhang (1hr), Olivia Peng (4hrs), Katie Huang (1hr)
