Creighton University Volunteers Make a Difference on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Open Door Mission
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, volunteers from Creighton University and the local community gathered at Open Door Mission to give back. They sorted through toys and games leftover from the mission's Christmas toy drive. The volunteers were split into three shifts to categorize over 90,000 items by age, helping the mission understand the community's needs throughout the year. This effort ensures that the mission can provide the right toys to children in need during the holiday season.

By volunteering their time and effort, they demonstrated their commitment to helping others and making a positive impact. The act of service on MLK Day highlighted the importance of giving back and supporting those in need.
