Alterra Sterling House, Meals on Wheels, and Adopt-a-Mile
Cleanup
 |
On January
16, 2006, Tigers In Service coordinated its first Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. As volunteers around
the nation participated in various service projects,
Tigers In Service directed three different opportunities
to serve right here in Hays, KS. To start off the events,
20 volunteers gathered at the local Alterra Sterling
House to provide manicures for and play Bingo with the
residents. |
During lunchtime, six
volunteers delivered Meals on Wheels to elderly or homebound
people through the First Call for Help organization.
In cooperation with the Rotary Club, 20 volunteers aided
Adopt-a-Mile efforts by cleaning up trash on 41st street.
