The campus-based community service center at Loyola College in Maryland is designed around a single, strong community relationship. The Center for Values and Service channels the vast majority of its resources into developing programs in collaboration with Beans and Bread, a local meal program and homeless outreach center. The two centers share one staff member, and the college rents a floor of the center s building. Since the beginning of the partnership in 1992, Loyola has participated in and enhanced the center s programs, adding Sunday meals and kids meals, and developing after-school tutoring and women s groups.
