Candy Days for Misericordia

April 24, 2009 (CHICAGO) It's your typical "tag day". Volunteers are needed to work the streets, sidewalks and store fronts of Chicago and the suburbs. Volunteers simply pass out candy and informational tags in exchange for donations. Any minimum 2 hour shift would be greatly appreciated. Learn more or sign up to volunteer online at www.misericordia.org. Click on the moving banner at the top of our home page and it will take you directly to the volunteer sign up page.
