Left-over food from Penn State dining halls is delivered to several local shelters on a weekly basis by student volunteers in the Food Donation project. Volunteer drivers who have access to a car are needed in addition to non-driver volunteers. Cultural knowledge as well as an appreciation for reading are shared with pre-schoolers through the International Journeys Storyhour which highlights a particular country each month with stories, crafts, and traditional presentations. Volunteers produce a one hour story hour at the local Schlow Library for local children which focuses on a different nation each time. Volunteers meet the week before to plan the activities.
