Akin For Action is excited to be part of the Niles Township Fun Run on June 6th, supporting the Niles Township Food Pantry!

Stop by our table where children and families can help decorate brown bags that will be filled with food and essentials for neighbors in need. It’s a simple, hands-on way to give back and make a real impact 💚

This family-friendly event is packed with fun — and it’s also an amazing volunteer opportunity for all ages.

Save the date, sign up for the run, and come be part of something meaningful with us!

📅 June 6
📍 Old Orchard Jr. High
⏰ 9AM–11AM

💙 Service starts at home — and grows into action.
When families volunteer together, kids learn empathy, leadership, and the power of showing up for their community.

Whether it’s assembling care packages, writing notes of encouragement, or helping neighbors in need, small hands can make a big impact.

At Akin For Action, we believe involving children in service builds lifelong changemakers and stronger communities — one act of kindness at a time. 💪✨
