Cedarville University's student organization K9s at the Ville will host its annual fundraising event, Pupperoni Night, on Friday, Nov. 12. It is open to both students and the public and will be held in the Stevens Students Center (SSC) event rooms from 6-8 p.m. Tickets cost $5 in advance at SSC tables or $8 at the door. "Pupperoni Night is a fun-filled event with puppies, prizes and pepperoni pizza," K9s at the Ville president Mckenzie Brittenham of Millbury, OH said. "Besides dogs and dinner, there will be desserts, beverages, raffle prizes and a trivia game." All proceeds will go to K9s at the Ville's partner, 4 Paws for Ability in Xenia, Ohio, a nonprofit organization with the mission of raising and training service dogs for children with disabilities and veterans with limb or hearing injuries.

Students pursuing a degree in allied health can often be found in medical practices, training centers and on the sidelines at football games. But one Saturday a month, students from Cedarville University's Allied Health Student Organization (AHSO) will be serving their community on the frontlines of the battle against food scarcity. Starting on Saturday, Nov. 20, students from AHSO served food from 10-11 a.m. at the Cedarville Community Food Pantry. The pantry, hosted by Cedarville United Presbyterian Church, provides food for local residents on the third Saturday of every month. AHSO first connected with the food pantry last year, thanks to a connection between AHSO's then-treasurer, Emma Mlagan, and representatives from the food pantry. Students were able to serve once at the end of the spring semester, greeting those who arrived and helping with distributing food.

Cedarville University students who have volunteered at the Riding Centre, a nonprofit equestrian organization for special needs children and adults in Yellow Springs, Ohio, have been forced to rein in their involvement this year due to COVID-19. But this spring offers the hope of fresh opportunities to get back in the saddle and serve. Cedarville students were able to serve for about a month during the 2020 fall semester, from August to September, including Sarah Schweppe, a junior international studies major from Easton, Maryland.

It will look a little different, but Cedarville University's Operation Christmas Child student organization isn't letting COVID-19 stop them from hosting its annual packing party for students on November 6 from 4-8 p.m. in the Alumni Hall in the Dixon Ministry Center. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan's Purse that distributes gift boxes to children in more than 100 countries worldwide. They are delivered by trained pastors and community leaders who share the gospel with every child who receives a box.
