Saturday of Service

Join us! August 23rd, 2025

Every year on the Saturday before classes begin, new Ramblers join CSA student leaders and volunteers to serve the neighborhood by gardening, painting, cleaning, and helping out! This is a Welcome Week tradition that every new student is encouraged to experience! This is also a great way to meet your fellow students and learn about how to get involved here on campus. In 2024, over 300 students joined us to serve with 13 organizations in the local community and on campus. This is the perfect way to live out Loyola's mission and be a person for and with others before you even begin classes.

What should I know before coming? Volunteers should be prepared to do manual labor outside; wear an outfit you don't mind getting a little dirty and check the weather before coming. Please wear closed toed shoes and bring your own reusable water bottle. Doors open at 9:30am. The event is first come first serve and the first 200 volunteers will get a free T-Shirt! Arrive no later than 10am to be placed in a group. Meet us in the Damen Student Center 2nd floor. We will serve everyone lunch and wrap up by 2pm. 

Under 18? Please have you parent/guardian sign this waiver in advance and email it to serve@luc.edu

Mobility needs? We are able to accommodate volunteers with a range of abilities; when you arrive, please let us know if there are any considerations we should know before assigning you to a site. Please email us in advance with any questions!
