MSLC and business partner team up to support Laurelwood Center shelter
Mt. Scott Learning Center and Sackcloth & Ashes teamed up for a special donation and day of service at the Laurelwood Center shelter in SE Portland on Wednesday, February 21.
A Mt. Scott teacher and team of students were at Laurelwood Center early preparing and serving a delicious lunch for the shelter residents. This was part of our schoolwide monthly service learning day and Mt. Scott’s long-time service partnership with Laurelwood Center, which is operated by Transition Projects.
Capping off the day was a generous donation of 100 blankets to the shelter from Sackcloth & Ashes, an amazing mission-driven company that served as Mt. Scott’s business partner for the recent two-month Willamette Week Give!Guide campaign. Thanks to Mt. Scott’s Give!Guide donors and Sackcloth & Ashes, we were thrilled to provide Laurelwood Center with this blanket donation.
Mt. Scott students model our core value of Citizens through monthly off-campus service opportunities. All students take part in supporting our local community, while building practical and people skills, strengthening connections with each other, and making an impact in areas that are meaningful to them.
