The Dickinson State University Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program's (TRHLP) is proud to announce the success of the recent food drive, resulting in a significant donation of over 600 pounds of food to the Amen Food Pantry.
The food drive, organized by the students of the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership
Program, took place over a week period, during which students mobilized their efforts
to collect non-perishable food items from both on and off-campus sources. Their efforts
resulted in an impressive collection of essential food items, ranging from canned
goods to dry goods, all aimed at supporting families and individuals in need within
the Dickinson community.
"The success of our food drive truly demonstrates the power of community and collective action," remarked Marivern Easton, Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program. "We are proud of our students' commitment to serving others and their determination to make a difference."
The donated food items were gathered and delivered to the Amen Food Pantry, a local organization dedicated to providing assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity. The substantial contribution from the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program will significantly bolster the pantry's efforts to address hunger within the community and ensure that essential resources are available to those in need.
"Participating in the food drive was a great experience. Knowing that our efforts
resulted in over 600 pounds of food being donated to the Amen Food Pantry fills me
with a sense of pride for the community that supports us so much,” stated Griffin
Obrigewitch, Student Assistant Director. “It's incredibly gratifying to be part of
a community that comes together to make a
difference in the lives of others. This experience has taught me the importance of
service and has inspired me to continue finding ways to give back to those in need."
Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program's food drive exemplifies the program’s core values and ongoing commitment to community engagement and service. By actively participating in initiatives that address pressing social issues, students and faculty alike embody the university's values of leadership, compassion, and civic responsibility.
