Community Service

From disaster relief to blood drives, Eastern Kentucky University students are changing the world one project at a time. Whether serving in New Orleans or right here on campus, our service projects offer you the opportunity to make new friends, build your network, and grow as an individual. Our projects fit perfectly into a wide variety of majors, minors, and concentrations to provide offerings that fit everyone’s interests. Please contact Nikki Hart with any questions or suggestions by phone at 859-622-3855 or by email at nikki.hart@eku.edu.

Do you love to serve people in your community? Consider working on our mobile Canteen (feeding truck). On Saturdays, we go out in to the community and serve a hot meal to those in need. If you have a group or want to volunteer as an individual than call today to set up a time. Volunteers will need to meet at the Salvation Army at 10:30 AM that day to load up and go out to a selected community. Great service project for groups!
