Christian Brothers University (CBU) wrapped up its annual “September of Service” with an impressive 505 hours of volunteer work completed by 125 participants. This year’s “7 Days of Good Deeds” initiative saw students, alumni, faculty, and staff coming together for nine impactful events across the Memphis area.

Volunteers contributed their time to a variety of causes, including beautifying a local park with Memphis City Beautiful, assisting the Refugee Empowerment Program with after-school activities, and sorting food for over 200 families at the Mid-South Food Bank. Other projects included cleaning and preparing trails at Overton Park, planting trees at the Lichterman Nature Center, and preparing a site for an outdoor mural with Paint Memphis. CBU’s campus also received some extra care, with participants cleaning the windows of Lambert Hall and Stritch Chapel.

This week of service reflects CBU’s ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement and promoting social responsibility in the Memphis area.
