SAAS students have seen many needs in our community increase as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has also made it more difficult to locate service opportunities. Two years ago, Community Action Club (CAC) student leaders from the class of 2020 began to develop a list of resources — which our current CAC leaders have continued — for students who are looking to volunteer. Even though Covid-19 has made service more difficult, SAAS students have continued
to step up to the challenge by coming up with creative ways to connect with and serve our community. This school year — and for the third time since the start of the pandemic — CAC has partnered with Bloodworks Northwest to host a virtual drive, signing up donors to help the organization meet the critical need for blood. This is one of the many examples of how SAAS students show up and give back to the community, even during a pandemic.
