Dinner provided
Join students, faculty
and staff for the 2008 Heritage Week Service Project at the Kids
Café at Powderhorn Park on Friday, March 7, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
We will depart UST at
4:30 p.m. to help prepare and serve dinner to area youth and engage
them in a variety of activities, such as finger-painting.
Kids Café
provides dinner to area youth every other Friday at Powderhorn Park.
Many of these young people are homeless, rarely receive a nourishing
meal or contact from a caring adult. Volunteer at Kids Café
to learn more about the Twin Cities community and live our UST
conviction of gratitude.
Space is limited; sign up
early at
commuterctr@stthomas.edu or call

Tell them you are an international student.
