Among the many events held during the University of Missouri–St. Louis Homecoming 2016 week Feb. 1 to 6 was a day of Homecoming Service Projects. Participants lent a hand at various locations throughout the area. UMSL students Bekah Cripe (green sweatshirt) and Armela Subasic made some new friends and gave out a few free piggyback rides to Elijah and Freddy, respectively, while volunteering at Patch Center, part of Grace Hill.
