The White Violet Center for Eco-Justice on the St. Mary of the Woods campus benefits from some college students who are on spring break.
   
Twelve students from Creighton University in Nebraska are spending the week helping the White Violet Center get ready for spring planting.
   
The students are doing farm work and cleaning out the barns.

The White Violet Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Providence.  It includes the raising of alpacas, organic gardening and educating the public to use our natural resources wisely.
   
The associate director at the center says she's grateful for the volunteers.
