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.
