Tigers in Service
This student-run program is designed to match volunteers with service opportunities in the Hays area. Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the Center for Civic Leadership, and the Office of Student Affairs, Tigers in Service is a clearinghouse for students with a desire to participate in community service activities.


Holidays for Heroes (2004)

Tigers In Service joined forces with Operation SOS (Supporting Our Soldiers) for their second Make A Difference Day project. Their goal was to prepare 500 care packages to send to military men and women serving overseas. The results were truly phenomenal and exceeded our expectations! Over 200 volunteers packed 500 boxes that were sent to U.S. soldiers serving in six foreign countries and four branches of the military. Over $12,000 was raised for postage and supplies. Around $6,000 was used to ship the 500 care packages and the remaining funds will go toward future mailings. Due to many generous contributions, there are enough items left to be able to send more packages to U.S. soldiers!
