This January, we partnered with Volunteer Delaware, a division of the Governor’s Office of Volunteerism, to provide $3,600 worth of supply funds for Delaware SIA teams to complete aservice project on or around Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service 2022. Thirteen SIA teams, representing middle and high schools from public, charter, and private schools from all three counties applied for and received about $300 in supplies. Some teams planned and executed appreciation events for their teachers, custodians, bus drivers, and cafeteria staff. Other projects included making mats, tie-dyed masks, and hygiene bags for those experiencing homelessness, and holding reading days and creating a library for a day care. These 13 teams completed 14 projects, activated 584 volunteers with over 1,725 hours, and impacted 1,129 people in their communities.
