Earlier this month, we had the privilege of welcoming 75 FSU students from the Center for Leadership & Service (@thecenterfsu) to Independence Landing where they volunteered their morning to help with campus beautification projects! Once finished, they rented out The Press Cafe (@thepresscafetlh) and hung out with our staff and residents. This was part of the week-long Service Leadership Seminar. (Rumor has it, our Executive Director, Barby, is also an alum of #SLS 😉)
We’re so grateful for our continued partnership with @thecenterfsu and all the ways they pour love and care into our community. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every person who dedicated their time to making Independence Landing a more beautiful, vibrant place. 🏡🧼💚
