Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and Family Scholar House will begin collecting food for their annual Thanksgiving Meal Drive Monday.
“Everyone deserves to have a great Thanksgiving, and that includes the students at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College who may be working hard in their classes, maybe they are already in the early stages of their career and also trying to raise families, and sometimes folks just need a little assistance to get that Thanksgiving meal on the table,” said ECTC Director of Marketing and Public Affairs Sarah Berkshire.
Berkshire said community members looking to support the college’s students have a great opportunity to do so.
“We know there are so many people out there who want to help students in that situation, and so we’ve got a lot of great partners lined up to serve as drop off sites for the Thanksgiving Meal Drive, and our goal this year is to make sure that we can serve at least 100 students,” Berkshire said.
The drive runs from October 14 through November 15.
“They can purchase and drop off a whole or partial meal,” Berkshire said. “There are two locations on our campus in Elizabethtown, and then there are about seven or eight other locations throughout the community. All of those, as well as all of the items that are needed, are listed on our website, and for those who maybe don’t have time to shop and drop off, they can make a monetary donation.”
