Twin City Aggies Serve the Community for
Jesse Jackson Day of Service
In honor of the legacy of Jesse Jackson, members of the Twin City Alumni Chapter proudly participated in the university-wide Day of Service led by North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Established as part of National Volunteer Month, the Day of Service calls on Aggies across the country to engage in meaningful acts of service, civic engagement, and community uplift in tribute to one of the university’s most distinguished alumni.
Answering that call, Twin City Aggies completed a hands-on service project at the Rupert Bell Recreation Center. Volunteers worked together to enhance the space by planting flowers, laying fresh mulch, clearing the sidewalk, and beautifying the entrance to create a more welcoming environment for the community. The chapter also donated a bird feeder, adding a lasting touch to the center’s outdoor space.
Through this effort, the chapter not only honored Rev. Jackson’s lifelong commitment to service and community empowerment, but also demonstrated the continued impact of Aggies working to uplift the communities they serve. The Jesse Jackson Day of Service stands as a powerful reminder that service remains at the heart of the Aggie legacy—and Twin City Aggies are proud to carry that legacy forward.
