This has proven to be a way to involve youth and children in a continuing manner, as they collect and pack kits throughout the year. The program director and members of the MAP volunteer Program Committee make presentations to groups of many faiths and ages, interpreting the work and the mission of MAP and offering ways persons can become involved in recycling the community's material resources. Although the participation in MAP activities is evident from throughout the region, primary involvement in and support both material and financial comes from North Carolina. A goal of the MAP Program Committee is to involve more areas of the Southeastern Region in activities of the Center, by providing yarn for knitting, pre-cut items for sewing and instructions for filling and shipping kits. As a result of the positive reaction to an article in the regional newsletter, plans for a MAP newssheet, to be distributed throughout the region are being discussed.
