On Campus Blanket Project

SNC faculty/staff as well as students who are on campus during winter
break have the opportunity to celebrate the life and work of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. by devoting part or all of their day in either
teaching elementary students about Dr. King’s message of respect for
others or by assisting area social service agencies who are serving
those in need.
We will also have an on-campus service opportunity tying
fleece blankets for House of Hope.
House of Hope provides programming, services and shelter to homeless
pregnant or parenting women, aged 18 to 24, and their children. The
blankets we provide will be used in the home and then given to families
when they leave the shelter.
This Day of Service is endorsed by the President’s Cabinet at St. Norbert College.
