**POP-UP EVENT*** Help Gillis Center Wrap Children's Gifts!

Gillis asked for a few Serve KC volunteers to wrap gifts that were donated to their children (living at Gillis). Come and stay as long (or short) as you can.

Directions to the Property: Enter Gillis property off Wornall onto 81st street. (You cannot get to Gillis propery at the large black gate on Wornall--gps may take you there). Turn west onto 81st from Wornall. Property entrance is a gated entrance that will be open, 1st left street on 81st, go past the gate. No need to enter a code at the gate. Go past 2 large buildings (sr citizen apartments). The Admin building is at the fork. Park in front of the Admin building or turn Left at the fork/at the Admin building then turn right to parking lot in front of the school. Ask for Thom Fox at Gillis.

Gillis Center (http://www.gillis.org/) is a healing place for at-risk children and families, providing education, counseling, social service, residence and emergency shelter. The children who live there, the boys and girls who attend their school-based day treatment, and the troubled families who go to heal; all have a story. Some stories are horrific and traumatic, some sad, some infuriating but almost all of them have the same ending: Hurting people made whole again at Gillis.

Thank you for volunteering!
