Spartans are a global community more than 500,000 strong and they’re passionate about making the world a better place. On April 17, Spartans worldwide participated in virtual and socially distanced service projects making a profound impact on their communities and beyond. The desire to do good did not wane with social distancing practices. If anything, the will to serve was stronger than ever.
While the Global Day of Service happens every year, 2021 provided a unique opportunity for Spartans. In many ways, project planners had to think outside the box to provide options for Spartans to safely interact while making the world a better place. This resulted in dozens of projects ranging from writing cards for seniors to providing live cooking demonstrations to helping map areas for humanitarian relief.
Below are just a few ways that Spartans showed the world the extraordinary impact that can be made through service.
Our MSU alumni clubs are a vital part of spreading the spirit of giving back to their local communities. Several clubs planned service projects this year including the Chicago Spartans who packed over 3,000 meals for residents of the Chicago area, and the Calhoun County Spartans who packaged 1,000+ boxes of fresh food for families.
