STATESBORO - The COVID-19 pandemic did not hamper the community service efforts of Georgia Southern Women's Basketball in 2020-21, as the Eagles ranked first among NCAA Division I women's basketball programs according to the Helper Helper community service app.
The women's basketball team logged 322 hours across the 2020-21 academic year volunteering at the Statesboro Food Bank, helping feed a pair of local Bulloch County families for Thanksgiving, reading books to local and nationwide elementary schools through the Read Across America program, assisting with the Trick or Treat Statesboro outreach program and also volunteering on a bi-weekly basis at the Christian Social Ministry Thrift Store & Food Pantry in Statesboro.
