In the spirit of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Ohio Northern University students came together this week to give back to their community, focusing on those who have given so much throughout their lives—the elderly.
“What better way to give back than to support those who have sacrificed and contributed throughout their lives?” said John Copes, IV, accounting and marketing major, AmeriCorps member, and coordinator of ONU’s Student Resource Center.
Students assembled and hand-delivered more than 90 care packages for residents of Vancrest of Ada, a local assisted living and elderly care home, brightening their day with thoughtful gifts and personal connections.
The Saturday, February 1 and Sunday, February 2 performances of Dance 60x60 have sold out, according to Tricia Calver, Director of the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
