scpr.org - Do Good Bus drives passengers toward altruistic adventurism

Posted on DateThursday, May 12, 2011 at 4:58AM

Saturday afternoon, thirty-five people looking to volunteer their time will climb on board a bus and take their seats. They don’t know where the bus is going or what they’ll be doing when they get there, but they know it will be good.
