Approximately 300 West Virginia State University (WVSU) students, staff, faculty and alumni spent Saturday giving back to the Kanawha Valley through the University’s fourth annual Cares Day.
This day of community service in Kanawha and Putnam counties saw volunteer work teams fan out to more than 30 work sites in the area.
Volunteers performed a variety of different types of activities including: unpacking and organizing donations for the Metro Valley Gabriel Project; preparing and serving food at Manna Meal; cleaning and preparing the garden area at Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary School; and bathing and grooming dogs at the Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association.
