Cesar Chavez community service event

The Associated Students, Inc. at California State University, Sacramento will celebrate its “Cesar Chavez Community Service Day” from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31.

The event will start with a breakfast ceremony and speaker at Serna Plaza. The community is invited to join CSUS students, staff and faculty to hear Duane Campbell, a professor in the department of multilingual and multicultural education, talk about the life of Cesar Chavez and about his personal experiences as a member of the United Farm Workers Union.

Following the breakfast ceremony, attendees are invited to travel to local non-profit centers to participate in volunteer service projects. Sites such as La Raza Galleria Posada and Fairytale Town will host the volunteers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Once the service projects are complete, volunteers will return to Serna Plaza for food and music until 4 p.m.
