Day of Service starts early with locations all over the CSRA including Aiken, Columbia County, Richmond County, and Burke County. The volunteers served 48 locations doing a variety of tasks including lawn work, river clean up, painting, organizing and reading. The day ended with a barbeque and jazz concert at the Summerville Campus Amphitheatre.

The Jaguars host the Lander Bearcats for a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader on Saturday, Jan. 9. The women tip off at 1:30 p.m. and the men follow at 3:30 p.m. in Christenberry Fieldhouse.

A group picture will be taken on the gym floor with the Day of Service participants in between the women’s and men’s game. Participants are encouraged to wear their Day of Service shirts!
