“I thought that the most interesting part of the Jesuit Day of Service was getting to meet students from other schools,” reflects senior Delia Hulseman.  “We all came from different backgrounds, yet many of us were able to bond and form new friendships.” Hulseman spent her day of service at St. Leonard's Ministries, an umbrella agency that provides residential and supportive services to men and women exiting Illinois prisons.  

Senior Ngozi Okoli described her Jesuit Day of Service at Catholic Charities Warehouse West as impactful and enjoyable. “The group I was working with sorted through probably over fifty boxes of clothes, shoes, backpacks, and towels for the victims of the hurricane in Puerto Rico,” she says. “It was also impactful because we were able to provide quality items, making us all think more about what we donate and the humanity of the people who receive the donations. It was a great way to end the four day weekend.”
