For Jack Schechterly, getting his hands dirty on a farm is nothing new.
So when Schechterly, 20, a sophomore at Seton Hill University, saw an opportunity to volunteer at Stoneybrook Foundation in Acme on Saturday morning, he took it.
“We just wanted to give back to the community, and this was one of the great opportunities,” said Schechterly, who is studying mathematics and engineering. “I actually worked on a farm when I was younger, so this is like my kind of thing to do. So I thought this would be pretty cool.”
Schechterly was one of seven Seton Hill football players volunteering at the site as part of the university’s Take the Day On service event. This year’s event deployed 250 students, alumnus and faculty to religious organizations, reuse centers and transitional homes to help complete various projects.
