If you’re looking for a way to get more involved in your community, serve with fellow Bruins and get a free lunch and T-shirt in the process, Bruins Give Back is for you.
Bruins Give Back is a volunteer event that occurs three times each semester and is open to all Kellogg Community College students, faculty and employees to participate.
A service learning event hosted with the college’s Student Life office and community organization HandsOn Battle Creek, the first Bruins Give Back events are scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, Oct. 12.
Participants have three service options to choose from:
- Community Action, 175 Main St., Battle Creek: Volunteers will help pack boxes for the food distribution efforts of The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which are scheduled for November.
- Springfield Middle School, 1023 Ave. A, Battle Creek: Volunteers will serve by reading books to kids.
- Woodlawn Preschool, 1175 W. Territorial Road, Battle Creek: Volunteers will help finish filling in the mural painting on the outside of the school building.
