This year (2006) a trip is planned for Oklahoma. Last year’s trip to North Carolina was a success! For more information contact involvement@monm.edu.

*Special Community Activities

Opportunities abound for service through special community activities. These include organizing events to directly benefit lower income families in the Monmouth area, working with the Warren Achievement Center, and work with local church youth groups. Services provided by S.O.S. through these activities help to strengthen the relationship between Monmouth College and the community. These activities includes: YMCA Halloween Party and the Special Olympics Tootsie Roll Drive.

*Blood Drives

Helping to coordinate Blood Drives means you participate in giving the gift of life. Two Blood Drives are scheduled this year in September and April. Volunteers are needed not only to donate blood, but also to help the Red Cross folks unload their equipment at the beginning of each day and reload equipment when the drive is over.

*Additional Opportunities

Is there a service opportunity not listed here that you would be willing to provide? What about a food drive? What about adopting a grandparent at one of the local nursing homes?
