The activity starts at 9 AM and there is a Tri-tip barbecue at 12 Noon. Any ASID/Interior Design students who want to help will get a discount towards an ASID t-shirt to wear (a $15 value for $10!), if you don't already have one (wear yours if you do!). Attention Volunteers: Please wear appropriate close-toe shoes on the day of the event. No flip flops!
Scour & Devour is an annual service project created to serve CSU, Chico and the surrounding areas by cleaning and beautifying them. For three hours, about 1000 volunteers gather at 8am on Kendall Hall Lawn. Volunteers pick up trash, paint fences and walls, plant flowers, wash building entrances, pick up cigarette butts, clean out street gutters, remove debris from the railroad bike trail, and assist with other jobs in surrounding campus areas. After the volunteers (students, staff, faculty, and community members) scour the area, they devour a barbecue lunch sponsored in part by local businesses.
The purpose of Scour & Devour is to beautify the University, North and South Campus Neighborhoods, the Downtown area, Chico City Parks, areas close to the railroad tracks, and other areas in need of assistance by cleaning around these specific areas. While in the process of cleaning, volunteers are educated about the importance of keeping their surroundings beautiful, encouraged to take pride in their University and community and build relationships with other students, faculty and staff they work with.
