Join us for our 17th Annual Martin Luther King Day of Service! Our major projects include renovating the interior of a chosen foster house in the City of Buffalo, focusing our efforts on the foster children’s bedrooms, providing paint, furniture and renewed hopes, painting and completing small but impactful repairs to the interior of the non-profit Broadway Market, painting the interior of the Michigan Baptist Church, a historic site on the Underground Railroad, and accepting toiletry donations to prepare “welcome packages” for victims of domestic violence at Haven House.
As Bono would say, "Get On Your Boots!"

As you trade your surfboard in for your snowboard, don't forget to leave out a pair of work boots and paint splattered jeans. The end of summer doesn't mean the end of volunteer opportunities. Check out the home renovations coming up at the end of October on the West Side and in Silver Creek and the soon to be scheduled renovation project at the Buffalo Academy of Science in November.

Thank you to the nearly 450 students, faculty, and community volunteers who came out for our 9/11 Day of Service. Volunteers completed physical transformations such as planting flowers at a VFW Post in South Buffalo, beautification in Cazenovia Park, and painting throughout the interior of the school. Additionally, all students grades 7-12 participated in activities centered around service, community, and team-building. Thank you for remembering a day of such sadness and loss with your service.
The attacks of September 11 were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom. ~ Rudy Giuliani
