This past Wednesday, November 23rd, we hosted Eastern's 5th Annual Day of Giving! The event was coordinated by People Helping People's Kate Harner and Scott Nolan alongside the CCE AmeriCorps VISTAs, Brit Cava and Kristina Scherber. This annual event is a Thanksgiving meal for those in need living in our community. On weekends starting at the end of October we held food drives at grocery stores to raise non-perishable food items and money for the food bank. This year we:
FED 456 PEOPLE!
COLLECTED 5,558 NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS!
RAISED $538.81 DOLLARS!
HAD 30 STUDENT VOLUNTEERS!
All our volunteers!
The buffet!
Co-Sponsored by Chartwells!
