Monday's Destination

I hope everyone's getting pumped - there is less than five weeks remaining to our departure for Chicago!

Before we go, though, we're going to keep giving you a little taste of each community partner we'll be teaming up with in the city. For our first service project, which will take place on Monday, March 18, we will head to North Ogden Avenue to the Salvation Army Community Center.

The mission of the Salvation Army is based on active service, which is exactly what we'll be doing. Last year's AB trip also went to the community center, and offered their help to assist children with their homework after school, paint walls and play outdoor games with them and have fun. They also helped out with storing donations from the previous Christmas season.

The center has numerous programs to help the public, and we'll get a great look at the impact of direct service.
