Join the Center for Community Engagement, Building Hope in the City, and be a part of the 2017 Fall Servant event. The Fall Servant Event is a coordinated effort among faith-based and secular partners that help feed, clothe, and shelter our neighbors in need. Bringing together some of the longest standing organizations in our city that provide warm meals and hope to those with nowhere else to turn, the 2017 Fall Servant Event ends with a party in the park! Efforts will be focused on Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, with other city center ministries and partners benefiting from the work of UC volunteers as well. Meet at the Fountain outside University Pavilion at 8:30a sharp!
