Emory Offers Ways to Give Back
Emory is offering numerous opportunities for faculty and staff to give back to the community this fall, including Emory Cares International Service Day, the Emory University Community Food Drive and the Emory’s CommunityGiving campaign.
Emory Cares International Service Day
The Emory Cares International Service Day event, which will be held on Saturday, November 14 at Emory is organized by several partnering organizations on campus, and offers the Emory community many opportunities to volunteer in the community. Volunteers are asked to come dressed in comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes, with closed-toe shoes. T-shirts will be provided for participants. Families are welcome; children accompanied by an adult will be able to participate in many of the service projects.
