Donate Non-Perishables to the Pre-Collegiate Service Scholars "Day of Thanks"


This Saturday, the Pre-Collegiate Service Scholars, a club run in partnership between Rochester AmeriCorps and youth from MCC’s Liberty Partnerships, STEP, Upward Bound, and Gateway to College programs, are kicking off the year with a “Season of Giving” event.  The event will set the tone for a year-long program that focuses on empowering and fostering community among our youth through service.

Led by Rochester AmeriCorps volunteers, the pre-collegiate youth will work together to complete projects that include making food baskets for families in need, creating holiday cards for the troops, and painting a back-drop to be used in an service-learning project through MCC’s Department of Education and School 58.  The afternoon will close with a meal and reflection on the service experience.

If you are interested in donating any non-perishable goods for inclusion in the food baskets, please contact Vanessa Rodriguez (STEP Advisor and AmeriCorps member) at 262-1688 or <mailto:vrodriguez4@monroecc.edu>.
