University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh

UW-Oshkosh's ALD started the year by volunteering with an event called “Hands On Oshkosh.” The event provides service and volunteer opportunities for non-profit organizations around the city of Oshkosh which individuals or groups of people can sign up for. The chapter helped out at Sullivan's Woods, a local educational nature site, by cleaning up brush and helping tend to paths through the woods. Along with the community service, the group organized a puppy chow sale, in which half of the total proceeds would be given to the area Humane Society. Other acts of volunteering include ringing bells at donation spots for the Salvation Army and buying Christmas gifts for a family in need.
