WVU Works on Community Initiative

West Virginia University has launched a new community service initiative that challenges college students to give back to their communities one day each month. The Gazette-Mail reports the initiative was launched in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and is part of a larger plan for WVU students to complete 1 million hours of community service by 2018. About 30 WVU students traveled to Charleston Monday to work on projects at American Red Cross, HOPE Community Development Corporation and the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store.
