Thank you to Urban Immersion Service Retreats for making our cleaning projects a little easier! In March, seven volunteers helped our maintenance staff with spring cleaning projects and touch-up paint jobs that freshened up our facility.

 

Last summer, the organization provided four groups to remove diseased trees and wood from our School Forest.

 

Over the past year, they've donated more than 80 hours of their time to St. David's Center.

 

Thank you, Urban Immersion Service Retreats volunteers for making us shine!
