MONROE, LA –ج‎ذكذكتسئµ (ذكذكتسئµ) Educators Rising Collegiate Chapter and the ذكذكتسئµ School of Education successfully led a community-driven service initiative, collecting over 1,000 donated items valued at $4,000 and raising $340 in monetary contributions to support children and families in need across Northeast Louisiana.ج‎ج‎

This impactful effort was made possible by 40 dedicated volunteers who served both on campus and at The Center for Children and Families, demonstrating ذكذكتسئµâ€™s commitment to service learning and community engagement.ج‎ج‎
