The Collegiate Recovery Community is committed to the value and importance of community service.  Following the guidelines of the Twelve-Step philosophy, the CRC believes that service is crucial to maintaining long-term, quality sobriety.  Recovering students at Texas Tech University have formed the Association of Students About Service (ASAS), a registered on-campus student organization that is committed to serving the local community.  Each semester, ASAS members select a service project within the Lubbock community.  Past service projects include:  Habitat for Humanity, food drives for the Lubbock Food Bank, clothing drives for Inside Out (a local faith-based substance abuse program that works specifically with the homeless population), and cleaning and repair of local half-way houses and Alcoholics Anonymous clubhouses.  Individual members of the Collegiate Recovery Community are also involved in taking Alcoholic Anonymous meetings to the Lubbock County Jail and area wide prisons.
