Atlanta Waves: Step Forward Day 2026
For over 30 years, Step Forward Day has brought together community members from all six of Pepperdine's schools to embody Pepperdine's mission through community service projects across the country. We invite you to open your heart and roll up your sleeves for a day of community service with your regional network!
Led by your Atlanta Waves Chapter Leaders, alumni, parents, and friends are invited to serve at Must Ministries in Marietta, which exists to treat not only the urgent symptoms of poverty but also the root causes, providing immediate needs while also leading families towards independence and stability. Waves will assist with several tasks, including packing and sorting food. Rep the Pepp in your blue and orange, and jump into service! *Please note that a separate waiver and registration must be completed to confirm your attendance with the food bank via the links below.
