It is because of people like this. . .

I get the credit, and yet. . . . I feel like I am the least deserving. greenLockers as a movement is not powered by me, but by countless individuals that decided to be a part of equipping students. . . moving the world forward. Here are some of these individuals that have made major contributions in just the past 2 weeks!

 

1. Heather – one of my students at Notre Dame who is paving a way for me to speak tonight to the service commissioners of the ND dorms as well as to the ND Circle K club members later on this month.

2. Theresa (an accounting manager) from Dowagiac, MI – who called up a few weeks ago wanting to donate around 200 binders (in about 20 more white bags that you see in the picture) from her work that was going out of business.

  binders!

3. Verna  Davis from South Bend who wanted to donate all of the slightly-used crayons that she had been collecting from her grandchildren over the years (the shoebox in the picture above)

4. Barb from South bend who stopped by Bethel and dropped off some more recylcing bins from a few neighbors (above in picture)

5. Richard in Granger who is wanting to organize a neighborhood collection drive for recyling bins AND school supplies - - be tuning in if you are a resident of Wedgewood in Granger :)

6. Dennis from Holy Family grade school in South Bend  – he wants in. . . one of many people serving in area schools that are bringing their schools on board!

5. Colin – V.P. of Penn’s NHS – he wants NHS at Penn to be in too. . . . just a few students at Penn!!! – should be an amazing partnership

 

I am amazed and excited about the power of greenLockers to help change the lives of hundreds if not thousands of students THIS YEAR – those that receive AND those that give.  It is March, which means less than 3 months until locker clean-out!!! I am grateful for everyone who is supporting greenLockers – we are already gearing up for what should be an amazing Spring!!
