608 SERVE Volunteers Assist at Emmaus Home Events

As part of 608 SERVE Week, volunteers offered assistance to Emmaus Home residents for crafts, birthday parties and an outdoor movie event.

The 608 SERVE Week has been pushing to get Saint Charles residents out serving one another all week and it's proven to be a rewarding experience for both the organizations needing help and for those serving. The Emmaus Homes of Saint Charles, is one of the many locations the 608 SERVE Week team paired with to provide volunteers throughout the week. Residents have disabilities that require additional help and the 608 SERVE Week teams were there to do just that. Individuals are encouraged to log their own service hours to contribute to the goal of reaching 608 hours of volunteer work this week, Sept. 10 - 16. Serve through Sunday and share those hours at www.coswired.org/608.
