Partnerships


For many years, InterVarsity has relied on partnerships between individuals, churches, and others in the community.  At Fredonia, over the past five years the rewards have been evident to chapter members.  In January, during our week-long service trip, many churches and businesses provide the 30 participants with a warm meal.  Food is one of the ways to college students hearts and this service from the Fredonia/Dunkirk area reminds the students why they are donating their time to community service. 

Recently, we expanded our  partnerships to include borrowing supplies for events (so the chapter only had to buy soap for the carwash), using local church spaces, and connecting students to families  while they are away from home.  We are working to develop new ways for individuals to get involved with the vision on campus: including holiday host families for international students, mentoring students, and helping with events on campus.  If you are interested in actively participating with the vision on campus, contact me.
