Head Coach Kelly McCarney says the team takes part in an annual service project every year. They had been adopting a family through Catholic Charities' Share the Spirit Program for the past 22 years. When the program ended this summer McCarney says the team pivoted to help Place of Hope and Quiet Oaks. The two organizations provided the team with a wish list of needed items.

Some of the things collected included toothpaste & toothbrushes, deodorant, towels, soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, and other supplies. McCarney says she is so proud of the team for taking up the cause and giving back to the community.
