“Into the Streets” is an annual service event at the University of Cincinnati in which members of the UC community participate together in a day of service. Since the program was launched, “Into the Streets,” which is coordinated through the UC Center for Community Engagement, has served thousands of people in communities around the Cincinnati area.

The staff at UC’s Center for Community Engagement also sends a special thanks to UC’s new neighbor for its sponsorship of Into the Streets. The new Panera Bread store on Calhoun Street is providing morning breakfast for the UC volunteers.
