Two Projects Completed!

Hello Friends,

The past few weeks have been exciting times for our nation and SISCO alike! Obviously, SISCO’s recent projects are colossally less important than the presidential election. Still, we’d like to think we’ve done some pretty good things locally.


On Sunday, November 2nd, a strong showing of SISCO members volunteered at Bookem’. We spent the afternoon arranging books in their library and preparing packages to be shipped across the country.

Then, on November 8th, SISCO teamed up with a group of volunteers from Literacy*AmeriCorps and the community of Millvale to help winterize the future home of the Millvale Library. It was a lot of hard work—boarding up windows and fitting them with insulation, cutting pipes, hammering and sawing down old woodwork—but it was also a lot of fun.

We’d like to thank everyone who has participated in our efforts thus far! We’re currently working on getting our next projects lined up. So, check back soon for more information.
