We love service, so doing this for the Boys and Girls Club is just something that we love to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Manning, community service is one thing her organization loves to do. That&#8217;s why the group encourages students on campus to give back as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to have events on campus just to get the students involved on campus,&#8221; Manning explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I came to this event tonight because I really feel like it&#8217;s really important to support the younger kids at Common Ground and just the younger kids in general,&#8221; said freshman Kamyria Anderson. &#8220;I feel like doing anything to support them is good and it just makes me want to get out there and help the community.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson said she feels giving back to the community is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Giving back is always really good because people always come from different things. Everybody don&#8217;t come from what you come from, so I feel like it&#8217;s always just important to give back.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROY, Ala.
