The University of Findlay - UF, WTS Faculty, Staff and Students Participate in Days of Caring

was among the volunteers on Thursday.

Faculty, staff and students from The University of Findlay and Winebrenner Theological Seminary (WTS) volunteered their time and labor to benefit the community during Beth Heck Days of Caring Thursday, Sept. 21, and Friday, Sept. 22.

At 8 a.m. Sept. 21, approximately 75 UF and WTS volunteers gathered at the Agency on Aging for a brief welcome and introduction to the project. From there, groups were sent into the community to paint garages and eaves at the homes of elderly community members.

Students from two First-Year Experience classes and an occupational therapy class were among the volunteers.

“Days of Caring has become a service tradition at The University of Findlay. Each year students, faculty, and staff from The University of Findlay and Winebrenner Theological Seminary participate in this community-wide service project,” said Crystal Jones, UF Campus Compact coordinator. “Every year, we partner with the Agency on Aging to improve the homes and lives of local senior citizens. The University of Findlay is proud of its students, faculty and staff’s ongoing commitment to provide help and hope to our community through this project.”

The Beth Heck Days of Caring is two days of service when hundreds of volunteers from local companies and organizations make a difference at local agencies, schools, and in the lives of students and clients by completing much-needed projects.

Last year, 72 UF and WTS faculty, staff and students participated in Days of Caring.
