Week of April 19–26, 2020

Virtual President’s Day of Service KickoffOn April 18, we celebrated our year of service together through the first-ever virtualPresident’s Day of Service. The day consisted of sharing the service Viterbo communitymembers have been working on to improve their communities, celebrating some highlights ofour year together, and promoting some of our local agencies and resources.

The day saw more than 30 submissions from folks all around the region and saw even morecommunity connection through Facebook. We estimate at least 50 people participated in theservice that was shared with us, while even more were celebrating each other’s impact onFacebook. We estimate our group contributed more than 600 masks, knitted 50 5-inchsquares, delivered more than 220 cards and letters, and served more than 50 meals topeople in need. The map above shows each city that “hosted” a service project as part of ourvirtual President’s Day of Service.
