Every year, MECers spend a day volunteering with local communities and organizations. Here’s what we accomplished this year:
Southwest Michigan
Twenty-five MECers volunteered at the following locations:
|
Hidden Acres (Dowagiac): MEC volunteers trimmed trees, cleaned paddocks, and replaced, repaired, and stained fences.
|
|
|
Lawrence Elementary School (Lawrence): MEC volunteers cleaned, organized, and restocked hygiene supplies for a community care closet, where the school stores clothing and supplies to donate to students and community members in need.

- Repaired fencing
- Replaced all bleacher boards
- Poured cement for a storage locker
