Summer of Service (SOS)
Augustana’s Compassion and Action with Our Neighbor Ministry invites your participation in a Summer of Service (SOS). Between June 1 and September 11, 2022, CAN Ministry asks you to track and submit your volunteer hours outside of Augustana. In the fall, these service hours will be totaled and celebrated in a special recognition during worship.
Record and share your volunteer hours and in-kind donations through the link to the right, and read on for opportunities to serve with Augustana members and friends.
