VOLUNTEER COMMENTS
• "Just seeing the excitement on the kids faces when we walked in was amazing. I never would have imagined we would make such a difference in just one day."
• "I had a lot of fun working with young children at the Annie Malone Children and Family Services. The children came from very poor family homes and it really made me want to leave an impact on them. Also, it made me thankful of my own childhood."
• "I absolutely love that Webster has a community service dayŠ I have participated for 10 years now and will continue to do so. I have worked many places, but I love working at the Open Door Animal Sanctuary where I also volunteer outside of work."
• "It's an extremely worthwhile program and an amazing opportunity for students to make a difference."
• "We couldn't begin to do enough for these kids and those who care for them. It was a privilege. This is great but we should do it more often. Departments could partner with individual nonprofits to do year-long projects. One day is the beginning!"
• "An incredible experience. A great way to meet people and feel like we have really done something to help out."
