MARQUETTE, MI— NMU is holding a number of service activities next week centered around the theme “Empowering Community through Action.”
Beginning with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, the goal will be to assemble and donate winter care kits to Room at the Inn to support those in need during the cold-weather months. The items requested for each winter care kit include: a foldable rain poncho, hand and foot warmers, wrapped snacks that are easy to chew, a compact blanket, a pair of adult-size socks, with an additional warm hat or pair of gloves appreciated, and hygiene items such as band aids, deodorant, shaving razors, lotion, wet wipes, cotton swabs and antibiotic ointment.
Donation bins are located at the Marquette Food Co-op, the NMU Office of Diversity and Inclusion/Student Equity and Engagement Center, and the NMU Center for Student Enrichment. The kits will be assembled and delivered next Friday.
