Be a Number: The Power of One in Community
March 14 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
This program has been cancelled. Please contact the Help Desk with any questions.
Be A Number kicked off as a simple t-shirt initiative: for every t-shirt sold, one was gifted to a child in need in Uganda. Over the years, founder (& Marshall-ite) Kevin Hershock, with the guidance & insights of friends, started Be A Number’s inaugural project: Magdalene’s Bakery. Many other ventures grew from this one, but sustainability proved to be difficult at every turn. Fast forward to today, where Be A Number has joined forces with Simon Peter, a proud member of the Acholi Tribe, & his non-profit to uplift & rejuvenate the communities of this region. Meet at the library to hear about the organization’s journey & what our community here might learn from this local/global work.
Registration required; Ages 18+ only.
