On Wednesday, Aug. 29, Oak Hills Christian College in Bemidji held its annual Community Outreach Fair for current students and local non-profit organizations.
The overarching theme of the outreach fair is designed for students to volunteer in a real life practical working experience. Local community agencies and ministries gathered with students in the Oak Hills gymnasium. After students meet with the agencies, they then commit to give at least 30 hours to the organization over the course of the semester.
