Twin Cities Asian-American Community

If you are around on Thanksgiving weekend and don't want to feel bored.... come over for some mahjong fun with friends*!* 感恩节麻将 !

*Meet 1:00PM at indoor parking by the Left Lobby door inside the garage (not leasing office door). Arrive at the same time for me to escort you together if possible. Stephanie 612-227-4835

We could create our own special Asian Thanksgiving meal/snack that day, bring something to share :)

Indoor guest parking is available by driving past the leasing office and turn left at the little roundabout into INDIGO garage; or turn right at the roundabout if you are coming from the opposite way. Disregard the restricted parking signs for overnight parking. Street parking is free too.

INDIGO is next to Hyatt Regency hotel by the Mall (Bloomington Central transit stop if you take the blue line train). This will be held at my residence, I would appreciate your kindness and patience.

Please consider joining us to ensure every student has the supplies they need to succeed!

So far this year, volunteers have helped pack over 100,000 backpacks and over 10,000 supply boxes for teachers and students around the country. As the year comes to an end, Kids in Need Foundation (KINF) is making one more push to get supplies into the hands of teachers and students when they return to school after winter break.

MEET @ 9:15 a.m.
Shift starts at 9:30 a.m.

*Keep your RSVP firm or update any change 24 hours before the event, because we commit to Kids in Need Foundation for the number of spots reserved. (No-shows not allowed).

This Meetup event will include a brief orientation, tour of the KINF Teacher Resource Center, and the volunteer session.

• Volunteer sessions consist of assembling backpacks or boxes with essential school supplies that will be delivered to qualifying under-resourced schools for the Supply A Student or Supply A Teacher programs.
• Additional volunteer tasks include helping to prepare the products (taking items out of the packaging, sorting, etc.) for assembly, and/or sorting and organizing products for our KINF Teacher Resource Center.

Kids In Need Foundation (KINF), a nonprofit organization that believes every child in America deserves equal opportunity and access to a quality education, provides the support and tools needed for teachers to teach and learners to learn.

By providing essential school supplies, distance learning resources, and other classroom items in high demand, KINF partners with teachers in underserved schools, with a focus on those with a student enrollment of 70 percent or more eligible for the National School Lunch Program, to ensure students are prepared to learn in the classroom.
