Through our partnership with Haygood United Methodist Church, located just two miles away at 4713 Haygood Road, Virginia Wesleyan University offers a wealth of service opportunities for students throughout the semester. These opportunities allow students to give back and make a meaningful impact in the community. Some of the ways to get involved include:
- Backpack Program – Packing food for children facing food insecurity at Luxford Elementary.
- H.A.R.K. (Haygood Acts of Random Kindness) – Engaging in various community service projects.
- Youth Group Engagement – Participating in youth group programs and events.
- Haygood Preschool Assistant Teachers – Assisting preschool teachers and supporting young children in their learning.
- Community Garden – Planting and harvesting in the community garden.
- Appalachia Service Project – Serving communities in need in the Appalachian region.
These initiatives provide students with hands-on opportunities to serve, grow in their faith, and build relationships with the local community.
