Colby Cares Day
Colby Cares Day was this past weekend - April 16th. I’m really happy to see Colby get more involved with the community in recent years. Here is a quote from the Morning Sentinel:
If lawns and buildings of organizations seem neater around the city this week it is likely the result of work done by many Colby College students.
About 150 students raked, painted and cleaned facilities — in some cases both inside and out — as part of Colby Cares Day on Saturday.
“It was probably the best turnout in the Colby Volunteer Center history,” said center director Natalie Maida. “I think we had the most sites we’ve ever had.”
In Waterville, they worked at the Salvation Army, Maine Children’s Home for Little Wanderers, Humane Society Waterville Area, Rape Crisis Assistance, South End Teen Center, Redington Museum, Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter and Alfond Youth Center.
