Thirty-one employees participated in the spring OLLU Employee Service Day last week assisting Providence Catholic School, which was also founded by Congregation of Divine Providence. Employees painted lines in the school’s parking lots, landscaped around campus, organized the library, cleaned the locker room and cleaned the gym and stage. Additionally, employees were able to learn more about the mission and vision of Providence Catholic School.
One OLLU employee said, “I felt the strong legacy of the Sisters here. As a team today, we accomplished so much by working together. As small groups finished their projects, we just kept helping others until everyone was finished. We really wanted it to go above the expectations of Providence staff and leave it looking really good for the students. It was a great day, and I got to spend it with colleagues who also care so much about each other and the community we serve.”
OLLU sponsors an Employee Service Day in the fall and spring benefitting a local nonprofit agency or group. Employees can take part in the service day without having to use vacation leave time. This event is coordinated by the Center for Service-Learning and Volunteerism and the Division of Mission and Ministry.
