Those fellows who could not volunteer their time donated households items and cleaning supplies to the home for families with children in the hospital.
The 2012 class of fellows also worked in the kitchen and helped prepare a meal at Indianapolis-based nonprofit Second Helpings. The activity was part of the class’s service project.
