Warm Welcome 2026

I enjoyed helping new residents move in and meeting new people.

Returning to volunteer at the LLC on day two was an excellent way to round up the week. Because I already knew the protocol from yesterday, I was able to be much more efficient with my bin and assist keep the drop-off line moving swiftly. Seeing so many of my friends working the shift with me kept my enthusiasm up and made the physical labor enjoyable. What struck me today was how much I value being the friendly first face for new residents. Starting college is a huge life adjustment, and it's exciting to help students cross that threshold into maturity. I sincerely enjoy being able to serve and take some of the weight off their shoulders.
