Thank you to everyone for your generous donations to the Office of Service & Justice’s “Lenten Service Drive”!  We were able to make deliveries to Loaves & Fishes and Wellspring to stock their shelves and keep their guests warm with our fleece blankets made by students last week.  Thank you for coming together as a community to put our faith into action in this season of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving!

About the Drive

As we look ahead to the season of Lent, we invite you to consider participating in the Office of Service & Justice’s “Lenten Service Drive” as a way to put our faith into action.  

Each week we will ask students to bring in different items for donation. (You are most welcome to donate requested items early, but we will not be able to accept late donations due to our scheduled project assembly dates.)
