2016 May 16

LFA's annual Service Learning Day took place on April 28th, 2016. Students and faculty went on 22 different service trips around the North Chicago suburban area to volunteer at local organizations. The LFA community planted 1,000 trees, packed 15,380 meals at Feed My Starving Children, packaged 5,500 lbs of meat at Northern Illinois Food bank, filled 1000 bags of sand, visited and performed for senior citizens, and cut brush at various forest preserves.

Dieter went to the VA Medical Center to visit war veterans who are in rehabilitation for their injuries.

Sarah Collins, Director of Service Learning, notes the importance of Dieter's participation and thanks all the students who made an effort to give back to the local community.
