Students from Wyoming and Montana Make Big Impact

Last week, 22 college students and their leaders dedicated their spring break to learning and serving at the mission. The students came from the University of Wyoming and Montana Tech and are a part of Chi Alpha, a campus Christian ministry. They blessed the mission and those we serve immensely, putting together 400 hygiene kits, helping in the day room, serving meals, and transforming the grounds at our LifeChange Center for Women and Their Children!

One student shared what she learned through the week: “Homeless people are the same as me. I CAN and WILL relate to them now. I want to make a difference in someone’s life, not just focus on my goal and ambitions. My time here on earth has so much more meaning than before I came here.”
