All spaces for this volunteer event has been filled!  Thank you for your interest and support.

If you have signed up for this event, you should have already received a confirmation e-mail from us, or will receive one soon.

If you would like to volunteer with the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project on a date other than January 19, please see more information about volunteering at http://www.pagestoprisoners.org/volunteering

In conjunction with the City of Bloomington's Martin Luther King Jr Day celebration, the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project is organizing a pack-a-thon to help select books, write letters, and package the books and letters to send them to incarcerated people.  This will happen on Monday, January 19 from 10am-12pm and from 2pm-4pm at the project space.  Because our new space is smaller, you must register for this volunteer project on the Bloomington Volunteer Networks web portal.
