Calling ALL Knox College students, staff, faculty and alumni!
Please join us in volunteering and connecting with our community by signing up for one of these Volunteer opportunities.
Meet us on Sunday November 5th in the Trustees room at 10:30am for a FREE brunch, hosted by the Kleine Center. Volunteers will move to their respective sites to begin at 11:00am.
All locations are within walking distance except Lake Storey Park. The Kleine Center van will transport people to/from the park. You are invited to wear your KNOX GEAR or GREEK LETTERS. This is a great opportunity to contribute and make a positive impact in our community!
