Ramping up Access in Elmore!

JSC students, working in conjunction with Dan Noyes of RSVP
(volunteervt.com), traveled to Elmore, VT to construct a ramp for a senior
citizen.

Upcoming Serve Fris include vegetable gleaning with the harvest being donated to a local food shelf on Oct 15 and the Hike for Hunger to benefit the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger on Oct 22.

SERVE Fri Celebration

On Friday, December 11, participants in SERVE Fri celebrated the end of the group's inaugural semester at the SERVE Fri Fall Celebration, held in the Stearns Performance Space at lunchtime. About 40 SERVE Fri supporters and participants, including JSC students and staff, as well as community members from local organizations, showed up to dine together and to reflect on this past semester's 12 successful service-learning events.

All together, 117 students, staff, and faculty offered 523.5 volunteer hours on Fridays throughout the fall season to a host of worthy projects, making a significant positive impact on the lives of those most in need in our community, as well as on the local environment.
