Service Saturdays
Service Saturdays are UM-associated service events held on one-to-two Saturdays each month throughout the academic year. On these days, the ELCS and participating students assist various Missoula-based non-profits helping them achieve their goals. Previous Service Saturdays have included activities such as socializing cats at AniMeals, serving food at the Poverello Center, harvesting vegetables with Garden City Harvest, and more!
