Some 80 college student volunteers used their Saturday morning to help others. All of them were members of Phi Sigma Pi, a gender inclusive national honor fraternity, and they met up at the Georgia Mountain Food Bank ready to help. The group regularly participates in service projects like Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tots and creating care packages for soldiers and veterans, all part of the club’s mission.
