By Hannah Hecht–Next Wednesday (October 3), more than 750 Morningside students will go “Into the Streets” for a day of city-wide community service. The event, organized by Omicron Delta Kappa, the campus upperclassman honor society, will give students the chance to volunteer at over 120 locations in the Sioux City area.
Students will perform a variety of assignments: from cleaning, to painting, to working with elementary students, to organizing library books, to visiting with the elderly. Volunteers will receive their assignments at an 8 a.m. breakfast orientation meeting in the Hindman-Hobbs Center (also known as the HPER).
Emily Greenlee, ODK co-vice president of Into the Streets, thinks this is one of the more important events students have the opportunity to participate in.
“Serving the community is usually a good thing to do in order to help the less fortunate,” says Greenlee, “And by offering the chance to the whole campus, we give lots of people the opportunity to do that.”
Greenlee and co-vice president Sarah Sorenson are coordinating this project with help from a student committee including ODK members Kyle Kinney, Preston Nibaur, Maria Bohling, Emily Culver, Jazmine Dirks, Demi Dunn, Samantha Hansen, Kyle Kinney, Preston Nibaur, and Sarah Olsen.
