“Attendees of CKIx 2015 completed 4,500 hours of community service around the Indianapolis area. The largest community service projected was termed “Extreme Neighborhood Makeover”
and included multiple projects around the Hawthorne and Haughville neighborhoods. Circle K’ers
helped to clean up neighborhood parks and community centers, cleaned up neighborhood streets of
weeds and trash, painted murals in the community, and even spent some time with the local children
they were volunteering for. There were so many Circle K’ers out doing great service that the Indianapolis newspaper, the IndyStar, even featured them. There was a lot of publicity of the “Extreme
Neighborhood Makeover” and Shayna Cole (Indiana District Governor) represented Circle K International well in interviews at the project sites.
Wrapping up service to the Indianapolis community, CKI members branched out to nine organizations across the city on Friday, June 26 to perform service including Ronald McDonald House,
Faith Hope Love; 24 Hours of Booty, St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, Coburn Place, Exodus Refugee, Teacher’s Treasures, Gigi’s Playhouse, and at Gleaners the group made history as the most
food sorted in one day, setting the record at 32,504 pounds of food sorted. The warehouse now has
an honorary LSSP shirt with every volunteer’s signature that will hang in the office. ”
