On Saturday, October 26 nearly 75
University of Northern Iowa students participated in Make A Difference Day of
Service. These volunteers spent their morning at two Cedar Valley
organizations: ASPIRE Therapeutic Riding Program and Black Hawk Park. Each
student assisted with outdoor clean-up projects in preparation for upcoming
winter weather.
For 23 years, USA WEEKEND, Newman’sOwn
and HandsOn Network have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the
largest national day of helping others each October. This is the fourth year
the University of Northern Iowa and the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley have
partnered to bring the service event to campus and provide an opportunity for
students to volunteer.
Additionally, students are encouraged
to continue to volunteer by working through the Volunteer Center of Cedar
Valley who staffs an office on campus each Thursday in the Student Involvement
Center, Maucker Union.
