Holy Cross Gives Thanks

NEWS FROM CAMPUS HOLY CROSS GIVES THANKS ALLOWS TARTANS TO GIVE BACK

The annual Holy Cross Gives Thanks service project, organized by the Holy Cross Social Justice office, took place in November. The event began with an all-school assembly where the community prayed and reflected on the needs of the community near Holy Cross. Then students, faculty and staff broke into small groups to participate in service projects. Projects included making sandwiches and trail mix bags for Martha’s Table; assembling meal kits for Central Union Mission, “cup-of-cheer” mugs for Small Things Matter, and sweet treat bags for Meals on Wheels and Little Sisters of the Poor; creating handmade journals, friendship bracelets and heart-shaped pillows for Kits to Heart; crafting cards for the Sisters of the Holy Cross and Blue Star Mothers, and clay bowls for the Holy Cross Empty Bowls project.
