Where Walsh Was |
Focus: HOPE

The Walsh College Alumni Association volunteered to
deliver holiday food packages to homebound seniors
on December 12, 2009. The volunteer event was well
attended by Walsh College Alumni and their families.
WCAA along with other volunteer groups helped Focus:
HOPE deliver boxes of food to approximately 600
families in and around Detroit for the holiday
season. This was a record breaking number of meals
delivered.
