Service and Social Justice
Service Saturdays
We offer monthly opportunities to serve the needs of those in our community. We meet on Saturday mornings and usually go out somewhere in the city to serve vulnerable populations. Service opportunities include volunteering at the local food pantry, cooking and serving food at a St. Louis women’s center, assisting with outdoor work at a community garden and more.
This is a great chance to make a difference in the St. Louis community alongside students from WashU and the CSC.

Street Patrol
Every month we go out into St. Louis to meet and bring supplies to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. This is a really unique experience to accompany those on the streets, hear their stories, and provide them with concrete materials. We meet at the CSC at 6:20 p.m. and depart together.
There is a large need for clothing, socks, hygiene products, and food. If you would like to make a donation of these goods, reach out to MyLan Metzger (metzger@washucsc.org).

Service Immersion Trips
Every year, the CSC offers students the opportunity to commit to service and spiritual growth through an international service trip. Depending on interest, we also offer domestic service trips to locations around the US.
Join us as we become the hands and feet of God, doing His will through acts of service.
Other Opportunities
We sometimes get a requests for eager hands and ways to serve the local or CSC community! Please be on the lookout in our Newman Notes, social media, events page, and Student GroupMe for these opportunities.
