Serving Their Community
Austin College students took to the streets in volunteer activities this past weekend in the College’s annual Great Day of Service, Saturday, November 2. Students worked at nearly 50 locations benefitting non-profits across the North Texas region.
Students were called to help with projects of all kinds. At the therapeutic riding center Hannah’s Horseshoes for Hope, volunteers painted, cleaned, and worked on fencing. Students made lunches at Grand Central Station food kitchen, and organizes bingo for patients at Beacon Hill Nursing Home. That was just the beginning of the work. From a Habitat to Humanity build to service to area churches, from yard work at Eisenhower Birthplace in Denison to Pottsboro Public Library, students shares their time with area agencies and groups.
"Service is part of our campus culture, and we are privileged to be able to share our time and energy with these many excellent organizations," said President Marjorie Hass. "It is my hope that the work of our students will be beneficial far beyond this weekend."
