This is a Past Mission: Be sure to check our current and upcoming missions!

Greetings, ICT Heroes! We’re calling on YOU, true believers, to help those in need in our local community! We’re working with the Kansas Food Bank to a great way to contribute to those in need this holiday season!

There will be two options for contributing – the easiest is online donation, where every dollar you contribute to the Kansas Food Bank will be turned into 4 meals for Kansas families! It easy, and efficient!

Additionally, we’ll be hosting an in-person food drive – the details are:

December 14th, Noon – 4 PM
Herman Hill Park
101 E Pawnee St, Wichita, KS 67211

We call on anyone who’s interested in donating to show up with your food supplies at Herman Hill Park – just look for the pop-up tent we’ll be operating from on the East side of the park (we’ll have some yard signs out to help you find it)

We’re looking for folks to come help receive food and put donations in boxes. If we have enough folk, it will be easy and we’ll just take turns getting it all done 🙂

We’re are also inviting anyone who just wants to hang out for a bit to join us. You’re welcome to come in your favorite cosplay, or show up in ‘normal’ clothes we’re out there! If you show up in cosplay, we definitely want to get some pictures of you while you’re there 🙂 We will have hot chocolate to share if it’s a cold day.

Our first event with local PBS station, KPTS Channel 8. If you’re a geek, you might wonder what KPTS & PBS has to do with Sci/Fi and pop culture. If you’re an old geek, you might remember that KPTS was where so many Kansan’s were introduced to Dr Who and similar sci/fi programs back in the 80’s!

This was the event just before we set up the Justice League of ICT name. KPTS trained us, fed us, and we all had a fun time being our usual geeky selves – the crew was (as pictured in order below)
