Did you know Charleston County ranks fourth in the state with 416 homeless people or families?
According to the South Carolina Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 4,664 men, women and children are considered “homeless” in South Carolina.
Now you have a chance to do something.
On Tuesday, November 17, Charleston Southern University students can help feed the homeless. It’s simple, too. Students with a meal plan through Aramark can swipe their meal card in front of the CSU cafeteria or Edwards Express and donate their lunch to Celebration Station, a North Charleston homeless shelter.
The effort is part of a campuswide service project by CSU and Americorps Campus Compact to create awareness and support for the homeless across the Lowcountry.
My apologies for being “absent” the last few weeks. I’ve been busy working, taking classes and … uh, going to concerts.
Chris Tomlin and Mercy Me in the last 30 days. God is GOOD to me.
Anyway, I wanted to share this video with you. It’s one of songs Mercy Me performed live. Honestly, it made me feel a little uncomfortable because were crying all around me. I understood why (just watch the video), but I am lucky enough to not have to go through the same experience, but I wasn’t crying too. I felt out of place. I’ll try and shed a tear more often …
Sincerely, blessings and huge THANK YOU for all who have and do serve our country. Your courage and strength is celebrated daily.
The Charleston Southern University Buccaneers football team kicks off their
2009 season this Saturday night in Gainesville, Florida against the defending BCS National Champion Florida Gators.
When asked by ESPN what Charleston Southern has to gain by playing the Gators, Bucs head coach Jay Mills replied, “We’re a Christian school, and we’re a school that has a vision integrating faith nationally, recognized for integrating faith in learning, leading and serving, and what better stage and format than athletics …”
As 73-point underdogs, Mills was asked what the Bucs must do on the field to make the game a success. He told ESPN, “We evaluate things a little differently at Charleston Southern University … success or failure in a performance-driven society is based on the W’s and the L’s, and we want to win just as much as Florida or anyone else … our identity is not going to be based on what the scoreboard reads after the ballgame … we are about excellence in the things that we do. We follow a theme that first we’ll be the best, then we’ll be first and that’s really what we can control along the way.”
