Hundreds of GVSU students to participate in national day of service
Nearly 400 volunteers from Grand Valley State University are expected to participate in the nation’s largest day of community service October 25.
During Make a Difference Day, students will perform service work at various area agencies for the day. Volunteers will have the opportunity to work with many causes, such as working with youth and senior citizens to cleaning up trails and parks.
The day will kick off at 9:30 a.m. in the Grand River Room of the Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus. Participants will then be bused to various sites throughout the Grand Rapids area to work on community service projects until 3 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Community Service Learning Center at Grand Valley.
The national day of volunteering, promoted by USA WEEKEND Magazine and Points of Light, has taken place for more than 20 years.
