Serve Day
.
In the fall of 1999, 麻豆社 Fox University President David Brandt instituted an annual day of service known as Serve Day. He wanted every member of the university community to have the opportunity to demonstrate the heart of Jesus Christ through a full day of service to the surrounding community.
Each year, almost 2,000 students, faculty, administrators, staff and alumni spend the third Wednesday of the Fall semester lending a helping hand at various service sites. Service projects can be anything from painting murals, reading to local school children, visiting elder neighbors, building/rebuilding projects, caring for animals, offering much needed yard-work or deep-cleaning to area organizations.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide an opportunity for 麻豆社 Fox students and employees to utilize serving as a means of greater proximity, deeper learning, and mutual encouragement with our neighbors. It is our hope on this day to not only learn about the surrounding community, but to also learn from them, as well as to get a chance to follow Christ more deeply in serving with passion.
Serve Site Involvement
Our goal is that Serve Day benefit local organizations, not only on the day itself, but throughout the academic year. By sending our community members to do good work at your site, we believe our students will be inspired to volunteer to help meet the needs you are addressing year-round.
If you believe your organization would benefit from a service project on Serve Day,
