9/11 Memorial National Day of Service

September 11, 2010 9am - 12 p.m. Sugartree Ministries

As the biggest food pantry/soup kitchen in Clinton County, Sugartree Ministries, has been a great partner in our work to get fresh food access into the community.  Let's show this great organization some love with a clean-up to work on some of the tasks that are forgotten in the day-to-day task of serving 1200 hot meals a week and affecting 500 people with their weekly food distribution.

This new National Day of Service is a great way to memorialize those who suffered on September 11, 2001 in a constructive way while still helping your community!

If you have questions please contact Jessica Braun at the Center for Service & Civic Engagement 937-382-6661 ext 306 or at jessica_braun@wilmington.edu or check out our Facebook Event!
