Volunteering for a Good Cause
|
| | Cornesha Wright, top, Zack Bingham, left, and Rachael Dannemann, students at the College of Nursing, volunteer at Hilliard House. |
On March 27, nearly 40 Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing students, faculty and staff volunteered at Hilliard House (Housing Families First), a Richmond nonprofit that assists women and their children during periods of homelessness. Several projects were completed, including painting the resident hallway and laundry room, organizing and moving supplies and donations, weeding and planting flowers.
The service day was part of the College's "Mission in Action" initiative for Question 8 on the Gallup survey: Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel my job is important?
