Volunteers Needed for HLGU Alumni & Friends Work Day on August 9

Hannibal, MO – Hannibal-LaGrange University is calling on volunteers to help prepare the campus for the new school year. The university will host its annual Alumni and Friends Work Day on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Volunteers will gather in the lobby of the first floor of the Burt Administration Building at 7:30 a.m. to kick off the morning.

This event offers an opportunity for HLGU alumni, friends, and community members to serve the university by helping with various campus improvement projects. No advanced skills are required to participate. Jobs will include raking and cleaning flower beds, painting, minor campus fix-ups, and more. The morning will feature hard work, great fellowship, and the satisfaction of serving the university.
