DeKALB – There were so many volunteers for the Rake Across DeKalb event Saturday morning that NIU didn’t have enough rakes for all of them.

Three hundred seven students, divided into 50 teams, participated in the event, said Destiny McDonald, assistant director for community service. All of them represented an organization such as a fraternity or sorority.

The school provided 90 rakes for students when they met at the Holmes Student Center. Students were told to borrow rakes from residents whose yards they were raking.
