We just got done filling up the Fairbanks Hopelink (Warming Shelter)’s donation box! It was amazing to use some club funding to help the people in need at Hopelink.

This was done as apart of our spring donation/volunteer project. If you’d like to join us in donating, they have a box in Fairbanks City Hall available for drop off during hours.
