COD Cares Volunteer Organization

For more than 10 years, COD Cares has actively supported our neighbors, collaborating with local businesses and nonprofits while fostering a culture of service among College employees, students and community members.

We proudly continue the tradition of service as we look forward to planting more gardens, preparing new transitional housing units, collecting clothing and food for those in need and sharing our time and energy with the community that so graciously supports our educational mission because COD Cares!
