Thirty-two Utah Tech University students volunteered at Cherish Families in Colorado City, Ariz., during a Saturday in August, according to a September 18 report.
The volunteers, referred to as Trailblazers, participated in the university's Service Saturday program to support local organizations.
During the service event, students performed various tasks at the Cherish Families facility, including cleaning the interior, painting, pulling weeds, and cleaning the parking lot.
Utah Tech stated the event was intended to help students build connections with each other and the local community.
The collaboration is part of a nearly ten-year partnership between Utah Tech University and Cherish Families. Shirlee Draper, deputy director of Cherish Families, stated that the organizations have worked together on volunteer projects and community partnerships to benefit the region.
