9/11 Day of Service

The summer is slowly melting away, which means September is right around the corner!

Every September 11 we ask ourselves where we were on that day in 2001. This year, however, look forward to where you can be. Our first annual 9/11 Day of Service exists to honor the day and those who served on that day with service projects in the community.

Here's the list of opportunities:

Community-wide food drive: Help man the on-campus food collection location or manage one of the community collection locations to benefit the Food Bank of Harnett County.

Make cards for deployed soldiers: Local organization Helping Hands for Heroes needs our help making greeting cards for deployed soldiers. Show them how much you care!

Interior church painting: Baptist Fellowship of Angier could use a few new coats. Spend the morning beautifying a place of worship and working your arms!

Literacy awareness: Inform the community about the importance of literacy and literacy opportunities at Harnett Literacy by canvassing neighborhoods with flyers and brochures.

Quality time with the elderly: Spend the morning playing Bingo with and bringing joy to the residents of Brookfield Assisted Living.

Registration will begin at the UCM Expo Night and continue at the Info Desk until September 3. As always, feel free to contact me for more information.
