Regular Service
To fulfill the first tenant, service, Knox Circle Kers get involved both on and off campus in a variety of ways. The Service Initiative of Circle K International is “Focus on the Future: Children,” so CKers often volunteer with kids. Whether you like to babysit children, play with animals, or paint houses, there are service projects to fit your interest! Members have recently volunteered with:
* Safe Harbor Women’s Shelter * Galesburg YMCA * Knox County Nursing Home * Humane Society * Christmas-in-Action * FISH Food Depository * St. Mary’s Square Assisted Living * Alzheimer’s Memory Walk * Take Back the Night * Sleep-in-a-box * Gale Elementary School * Adopt-a-Spot * Faculty child care
The main charitable organization of Knox’s Circle K is the Spastic Paralysis Research Foundation. To raise funds for the organization, CKers have gotten quite creative, hosting a variety of fundraisers:
* Bagging for Tips at HyVee Grocery * Car Smash * Skate Night * Bowl-a-thon * Valentine’s Day Carnation Sale
