Sign Up for USM Day of Service!

Spring is here, and that means the 3rd Annual USM Day of Service is right around the corner! USM Day of Service engages over 100 USM students in community service projects all over the Greater Portland area. This year, from 10:00-4pm on April 20th, 2012 we will be participating in the following service projects:

• Rippling Waters Organic Farm(Standish): Good Weather = covering outdoor gardens with soil, leaves & hay & making raised beds; poor weather = planting in greenhouse & hoop houses
• Partners for World Health(Scarborough): Sorting medical supplies to be sent to developing nations
• Portland Trails(Portland): resurfacing and cleaning up their Valley St trail.
• Gorham Campus Clean-Up(Gorham Campus): TBD, most likely flower planting, trash pick-up, weeding, ect.

We provide transportation to all off-campus service sites, free breakfast and lunch, and a free t shirt! Registration for individual projects will be done on the morning of the event from 9:30-10:00am on a first come first serve basis. Students interested in serving at Rippling Waters or on the Gorham Campus Clean Up project should sign up to register at the Gorham Campus, while those who wish to serve at Partners for World Health or Portland Trails should sign up to register on the Portland campus.
