This past Saturday, The ONE Campaign- Baylor joined hundreds of other organizations from the university to make a difference in the lives of those living in our community. Each semester, organizations powered by hundreds of students take a Saturday afternoon to “Step Out” into the community to serve those in need. Groups are assigned tasks such as cleaning up parks and rivers, working with the elderly, and holding block parties in low income areas.

This year, ONE worked with Student Government as well as Baylor Students for Social Justice to paint a house used by Mission Waco, a large non-profit organization in the area geared towards helping those in poverty. ONE members painted a house used by Mission Waco to house men who have successfully completed a drug or alcohol recovery program. Members worked all afternoon painting while joining hundreds of other students as ONE to help those in need.

Sic ‘Em ONE!

-Justin Kralemann, President of the ONE Campaign-Baylor
