NU Club of Chicago -- Kindness Connection Volunteer Event

Join the NU Club of Chicago and help complete various service projects to benefit Habitat for Humanity, Hines VA Hospital, Special Olympics, and other nonprofits including organizations which serve children in need, the elderly, and sheltered animals. Service projects are appropriate for people between the ages of 5 and 105.

There is a $5 fee to cover the costs of goods used.

We have a variety of projects to benefit Habitat for Humanity. These projects may include decorating planters and placemats, and designing coaster sets. The gifts will be given to new homeowners as housewarming presents.

Other possible activities we will be completing follow:

• Making get well cards, writing encouraging letters, and creating drawings for recovering military personnel.
  
• Creating patriotic door decorations for veterans at Hines VA Hospital.
  
• Making bookmarks for blind children throughout the world served by Hadley School for the Blind.
  
• Designing placemats for homebound elderly served by Meals at Home in Wilmette.
  
• Decorating small planters for elderly served by Little Brothers -- Friends of the Elderly.
  
• Packing healthy lunches for the homeless served by Hilda's Place in Evanston.
  
• Crafting keychains which will be given to blood donors as a small token of appreciation/recognition.
  
• Design medals (imitations of Olympic-style medals) which will be donated to Special Olympics to recognize athletes during training.
  
• Making catnip toys for felines in a shelter.
