Over the weekend of March 21, they didn’t just volunteer—they got on a plane. A group from @Cornell traveled to Chicago to support free tax preparation and filing at Kennedy-King College @KK_College. We’re grateful for the time, energy, and care they brought to this work.

Showing up to serve others looks different for everyone. For a group from @Cornell, it meant flying in from out of state to volunteer in Chicago for the weekend. Supporting a community beyond their own. Thank you for going the extra mile—literally.
