(Community Service Day 2026) Brighten the Brook (East Campus)

ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY:

Join us for an exciting annual tradition, Community Service Day, which is a highlight of Welcome Week! This event offers incoming Seawolves a chance to engage in various service projects, both within and beyond the campus, throughout the day. As a token of appreciation, participants will be gifted lunch courtesy of Jersey Mike's Subs and a complimentary t-shirt (while supplies last). Check-in begins at 8:30AM in the Student Activities Center Auditorium, with our official kickoff at 9:00AM. Volunteers will be guided to their projects to begin at 10:00AM. For most projects, the day is estimated to conclude by 2pm (some off-campus projects may return to campus closer to 3pm). Be part of this impactful day as we come together to give back to the community!

ABOUT THIS SERVICE PROJECT:

Support the Stony Brook Heights Rooftop Micro-Farm's "farm to bedside" concept, which uses organic gardening methods to grow vegetables and herbs that supplement patient meals at Stony Brook Medicine. Students will be painting signs to label the plant beds in the micro-farm.

Note: If the maximum number of guests are registered to attend this project, you may join the waitlist or view the Center for Service Learning and Community Service page to register for another Community Service Day project. You are still welcome to join us on August 21st if you remain on the waitlist - we will be happy to match you to projects with open availability!
