Our Community
Adopt-A-College StudentYou might remember the days of Ramen noodles and high-priced textbooks. Well, they still exist for college students today, and that is why we invite caring adults and families to adopt a college student for a school year. At the beginning of each fall, you take one afternoon a month to invite your student over to your home and/or take them out for a meal. You’re welcome to go above and beyond this commitment. Invest in the life of a student during this critical growing time in their lives.
