University of Houston-Downtown’s GatorServe for the MLK National Day of Service at Houston SPCA, the iconic nonprofit dedicated to the welfare of animals.
More than 50 GatorServe volunteers spent the day at the Houston SPCA to walk dogs and provide animal care for cats; clean windows, build wildlife release cages and more. Their areas of service included the Adoption Center, Equine and Farm Animal Center and Wildlife Center. The event was sponsored by UHD’s Center for Community Engagement & Service Learning.
Service to others is a hallmark of the University of Houston-Downtown, and GatorServe is a UHD tradition. GatorServe brings together UHD students, staff, faculty, friends, families, and community partners to complete projects in service to its neighbors for the two National Days of Service in remembrance of 9/11 and to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.
In memory of the civil rights leader’s tremendous life and legacy, UHD students, staff, and faculty will volunteer at Houston SPCA this National Day of Service.
