Serra Students in Action
We are honored to present a student run outreach project designed to support and benefit Toby's House. A group of students (Alison Heisler, Bernadette Binning, Gabrielle Albertson, Jenna and Emily Barnett, Stephanie Richardson, Samantha Slavin, and Lauren Diuco) have made cards and gift tags that will be available on a donation basis at tables hosted by Campus Ministry. The handmade items will be set up at the entrances of the PEB and in the lobby of the MEC during the conference hours and all proceeds are going directly to Toby's House.

This group of students, all members of "KRC" have dedicated countless hours of their time to honor their mission and this charity. To find out more about this unique group of students....CLICK HERE.
