What's OSU Days of Service?
Beavers are quick to roll up their sleeves when it comes to solving problems, even when it involves working outside their comfort zone. Each year in May for OSU Days of Service, alumni, students and friends use this shared community spirit and join together to make positive change.
To find opportunities to help, you may not need to look beyond your neighborhood. Food insecurity, hunger, environmental restoration, health and education are examples of needs that have inspired past service projects.
Give today!
If you’re short on time, we will put your money to work by helping to grow the OSU network and support OSU students! Support OSUAA programs and student scholarships by making a gift. Type in "OSU Alumni Association Scholarship Fund" or "OSU Alumni Association Excellence Fund" in the form. Or support the OSU Alumni Association with Dam Proud Day.
Thank you for volunteering for past Days of Service!
Each year, we have a great turnout for OSU Days of Service. Volunteers in Oregon, Washington and California, and across oceans, from Hawaii to India and Korea, came together to volunteer in their communities. Alumni and friends packed food boxes for those in need, cleaned up parks and neighborhoods, helped with city recycling events, worked in gardens and more!

I am always a firm believer in uplifting people in nursing homes and elder care, tulips are a great way to do that ...

It's an important way in which I can benefit at least three people who need blood.

It has to start somewhere, so why not start with me and my family spreading some cheer and cleaning up our neighborhood?
Marcia Torres-Ruiz, '01
Coming from a family who needed help in the past, I know all too well what it's like and how much it meant when someone helped us.

Hopefully the plant starts I grow and give away will encourage individuals to get outside and get some much-needed Vitamin D.

It's a need that we can help with that has made a huge difference for those who can't leave their homes.

Human connection is one of the deepest ways to show love and feed/received hope - to strangers and friends alike.

Helping students and the needs of those in my community are very important to me.
