Ukraine Fundraising and Meal Packing

Since our initial announcement, several questions have surfaced.

1) Who is Bobby Polito, and why is the link directing me to his personal page?

Bobby Polito is the Regional Manager for The Outreach Program. We are using his donation page for our fundraising efforts as he is handling our account.

2) Who can participate?

This initiative is not limited to students. We are encouraging students to tell and invite family, friends, neighbors, and more to participate.

3) What if I have more questions?

For further details and links, please continue to read through the following information. If you have any other comments or questions, please email Master Hawk at deannahawk@arlingtonkicks.com.

Our concern for Jhoon Rhee Master Instructor Master Korobov, his Tae Kwon Do students, and all in Ukraine, remains high as this conflict continues.

As we repeatedly emphasis every time we recite our Student Creed, “build a strong and happy community,” our organization prioritizes community at all levels, including globally.

We are working in collaboration with The Outreach Program, a well established 501(c)(3) dedicated to organizing food packing events around the country. To date they have packaged over 300 million meals.

We are also coordinating with one of our local Arlington churches, Memorial Baptist. They have previously hosted meal packing events and have graciously agreed to serve as host again.

This initiative is a two-part effort!

FUNDRAISING FIRST

First, we need to collect funds that will be used to purchase the necessary food and supplies needed for our meal packing event.

These donations will be collected through Saturday, September 17, through the donation link located on the Regional Manager's page, Bobby Polito.

Meals are $.35 each, so no matter how big or small, every donation helps!

VOLUNTEER SECOND

Second, we need you and your family to volunteer to help pack meals at Memorial Baptist Church on Saturday, October 15.

Time slots begin at 9am, and are available in two hour increments.

The goal is to pack 10,000 meals per shift!
