Chapter Highlights

University of Nebraska Lincoln

DIY Cat Toys for Humane Society Some of Lincoln’s cats are happier thanks to our University of Nebraska Lincoln SAL chapter. Members there made do-it-yourself cat toys at their chapter meeting this month.

The Big Event

The Big Event Several SAL chapters participated in this year’s Big Event.  Among them were University of Nebraska Lincoln, Texas A&M University, Virginia Tech University, and James Madison University.  Big Event is popular among many campuses and involves student organizations joining together to clean and better their community.  It is the biggest student-run volunteer project in the nation.

Operation Christmas Child Members of the UNL Chapter of SAL recently took time during a chapter meeting to wrap shoe boxes full of Christmas presents for underprivileged children.  The wrapping party was a huge hit and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.  Each person brought their own shoe box full of gifts to donate/give to an underprivileged child.  A total of fifteen boxes were wrapped.

Operation Christmas Child The UNL chapter got together to assemble boxes for Operation Christmas Child. This is an annual project put on by Samaritan’s Purse where groups and individuals fill shoeboxes with small gifts which are delivered to needy children all over the world. The UNL chapter members worked hard to make this project successful.

Canned Food Drive At a recent meeting, UNL members brought canned goods for their canned food drive. All the goods collected were to be given to Matt Talbot Kitchen, a local food pantry. A guest speaker from Matt Talbot Kitchen came to talk to the group about “Huskers Helping the Homeless,” a fundraiser they were doing before a UNL football game.
