St. Luke’s College Volunteers Help Camp High Hopes
Volunteer students and staff from St. Luke’s College volunteered at Camp High Hopes on Friday, August 13th. Over 25 volunteers were on hand to remove old furniture and carpet and to clean up the house, yard and landscaping. The volunteers’ efforts helped to update the house that is currently being used as the camp office and that will one day be used at staff housing. Thank so much to all the wonderful volunteers!
