Hutchison faculty kicked off the summer with service and joined forces with the More Than A Meal Program.
Some of our faculty recently volunteered with Grace St. Luke’s More Than A Meal Program at Grace St. Luke's to cook and serve a meal to homeless and hungry individuals in Memphis. As the Director of Hutchison Serves, Rachel Frank says the program places an emphasis on faculty “recognizing the importance of modeling service learning in our community.” The Hutchison Serves program would not be what it is today without our faculty’s passion for service.”
Hutchison Serves is committed to partnering with Memphis area nonprofit and community organizations in an effort to build relationships and think deeply and critically about the broader issues our community has been exposed to.
