Service Fraternity Feeds Local Homeless


The Sandwich Bus--a bus filled with sandwiches and UDM students--travels throughout Detroit feeding the homeless during the school year. Sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega (APO), a UDM co-ed service fraternity, the bus runs twice a month. Fraternity members along with other student volunteers prepare 240 box lunches, consisting of sandwiches, bottled water, and granola bars. Once the lunches are made, students load the food in the vehicle to hand it out to the less fortunate in the community.
