The Difference a Day Made

Thank you for those of you that participated in Make-a-Difference Day on October 24th! Campus Corps members all over the state participated in meaningful service projects in their local community. Here are results from some of the many Campus Corps Projects:

  • Fort Belknap College collected over 200 coats during a coat drive
  • University of Montana raised $150 dollars to serve 111 meals at the Poverello Center
  • University of Montana Western members collected 160 pounds of food with a food drive that received donations from 17 local businesses
  • Carroll College members served over 20 beneficiaries during their project at the YWCA
  • Montana State University- Billings participated in a trick-or-eat drive collecting 800 lbs of food from over 200 homes
  • Flathead Valley Community College worked with over 50 volunteers from the campus, community, and Montana Conservation Corps. Volunteers did construction work on an old mall that will soon be offices for 15 different non-profits offering around 30 programs.
