NOVA Serves: MLK Day 2010

Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) held it's first annual day of service this MLK Day. Over 200 students, faculty, staff and members of the community volunteered for 6 service projects. NOVA Serves volunteers logged 700 hours of community service in 1 day!

Service projects included: free automotive service for low income individual's through NOVA's Drive to Employment program; the packaging of school supply kits to be distributed by US troops to Iraqi and Afghan school children; the inventory of medical supplies for humanitarian aid; the organization of donations at 2 separate thrift shops; and a Habitat for Humanity clean up project for an elderly homeowner.

Thank you to all of our volunteers as well as the organizations that made NOVA Serves possible. Our partners included, Learn and Serve America (a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service), Drive to Employment, Operation International Children, CrossLink International, Habitat for Humanity, Northern Virginia Family Services, and VW Group of America.
