Demetrius Robinson proposes to develop a volunteer coalition from Cycle 55 and IC Stars staff to support the Pacific Garden Mission, a Chicago homeless shelter. The initiative aims to gather individuals to provide food and assistance to the homeless, with an annual reunion to reinforce community commitment. The Pacific Garden Mission has been serving the homeless since 1877, offering food, shelter, and programs to aid reintegration into society.
