Students from Lackawanna College in Pennsylvania have recently concluded their month long food and clothing drive where they collected about 87 pounds of food! With the help of Bekins A-1 Movers, the students donated enough food to provide more than 70 meals to Friends of the Poor, a local community pantry.
This drive was initiated by Dawn Hernandez, a student who was motivated to help people in her community who were facing hunger. With more than 30,000 people suffering from food insecurity in Lackawanna County alone, Dawn and her fellow classmates knew they had to make a difference. But, the generosity didn't end there!
The unstoppable team collected toiletries, hygiene products, and winter clothing. In addition, Dawn's class at Lackawanna College volunteered to feed the homeless at Community Intervention Center in Scranton, PA. This team is full of ideas to help their community so stay tuned for upcoming events!
Everyone at Move For Hunger would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Dawn Hernandez, Lackawanna Community College, and Bekins A-1 Movers of Wilkes-Barre for your determination to make a difference!
