After a few days of being on the receiving end of care during Love MBU, MBU students showed their own love by packing backpacks for The Women’s Safe House in the SRC on March 8, 2023.

However, students were also given the opportunity to show love to people off campus through Give Back MBU.
MBU partnered with The Women’s Safe House, a St. Louis-based organization that offers a safe space for women and families fleeing domestic violence, to pack backpacks with soap, shampoo, books, and other personal care items to give to those women and families.
Students were also encouraged to handwrite a note for whoever may receive their packed-with-care bag.
MBU students showed up and showed out, packing a total of 100 backpacks for women and families in the STL area.
Check out the gallery below for a bird’s eye view of the event and the students who gave back.
