With finals just around the corner, a number of student-athletes from the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) recently took a break from their studies to volunteer their time at a local homeless shelter.

The Titan SAAC members visited the Coalition on Temporary Shelter (COTS) in Detroit. COTS' mission is to alleviate homelessness by providing shelter, meals and an array of services which enable people to achieve economic self-sufficiency and decent affordable housing. COTS advocates for long-term solutions to the problem of homelessness.

The members of SAAC arrived and assisted the regular workers in preparation of the food and setting up the room for dining services. They then prepared plates and served the people who entered the shelter as well as assisted in cleaning up the kitchen and dining areas.
