Alternative Thanksgiving Break 2012 - Philadelphia, Pa., November 21-25, 2012
The application process for ATB has ended.
Check back after Thanksgiving to see updates and pictures from the trip.
What is Alternative Break?
Alternative Break is an intense service experience during one of BW's breaks. It is an opportunity to serve with fellow BW students, make new friends, make a difference, and travel to another part of the country and even the world. The focus on Alternative Break trips is direct service, reflection and education.
The Issues
The focus of Alternative Thanksgiving Break is hunger and homelessness. Thanksgiving is a time of celebration in the U.S. However, the holiday season can be a challenging time for those who are experiencing homelessness, hunger or struggling financially.
The ATB group will serve at St. Francis Inn Ministries in the City of Brotherly Love – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. St. Francis serves their guests with dignity and strives to rebuild one life at a time. BW volunteers will assist with serving meals as well as work in their thrift store.
