Ellyn Hilts Serves on Missions Trip to Olympia

2014 Jun 25

Ellyn Hilts traveled to Olympia this spring as a team member on a Simpson University WorldSERVE team. Hilts is from Salem, OR. Hilts's major is Accounting.

Partnered with a church in Olympia, these team members spent their spring break learning about the multi-faceted issues surrounding human trafficking and exploitation in the U.S. The team served alongside the Justice and Mercy Foundation to reach out to impoverished families, learn about the legal system, and be part of their outreach ministry.

More than 100 Simpson University students on 14 WorldSERVE teams traveled around the world in spring and summer 2014 to provide service to different communities. To be eligible for the WorldSERVE program, a student must go through an interview process and be chosen for a specific team.
