KCAH Rochester, MI – November 29th In partnership with the Student Activities Funding Board, Habitat for Humanity at Oakland University hosted their first Grizzlies Healing Hunger KCAH food packaging. They originally had a goal of packaging 11,000 meals in about four hours. However, the university community pulled together and packaged 12,096 meals in that time. Many of the students involved had not been to a packaging before, but they were quick to learn and eager to volunteer. It was an amazing experience to work with other students and alumni to give back to the local community.

At Snowpia my group volunteered at the Shelterhouse which is a organization dedicated to providing safety to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. It was amazing to hear about the Shelters mission and to serve there and connect with people all throughout the district. -Drake Lambright
