Dartmouth Day of Service at Second Harvest Food Bank (5/4)

Help with food for the needy: Volunteer at Second Harvest Food Bank on Dartmouth Day of Service

Not only is it the 5^th year of having a day dedicated to service by alumni, but it is also Dartmouth’s 250^th anniversary! As part of that celebration, the College has launched an ambitious initiative, the Call to Serve, which aims to record 250,000 hours of community service performed by all members of the Dartmouth community. The Day of Service is the centerpiece of Alumni participation in this initiative, so help us show our local Dartmouth spirit by providing some of our great “helping hands” to one of the largest food banks in the U.S., the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
