The Oregon Campus Compact-led day included聽Concordia University, George Fox University, Mt. Hood Community College, Portland State University, University of Portland and Warner Pacific College, who brought more than 500 college students to improve schools and local community organizations at 15 sites in east聽Portland and Gresham.
The service projects helped to聽prompt student volunteers to reflect on the teachings of Dr. King, the value of education and community, and how they as students can help strengthen the relationship between schools and community.

Some of these pictures were taken at Dharma Rain Zen Center where volunteers weeded out invasive plants, planted and mulched new trees and built a split-rail fence.
It was so exciting to see two buses full of students show up to work with us. The weather cooperated and we had a great time. Thank you so much for all the hard work on MLK Monday!
