Thursday last day to support ECTC Thanksgiving food drive

Thursday is the last day to support Elizabethtown Community and Technical College’s Family Scholar House Thanksgiving Meal Drive.

“It really supports ECTC students and their families,” said ECTC Director of Philanthropy Chrissie Angell. “You know, it can be a burden for them to have to provide a Thanksgiving meal, and so this just really helps us ease that burden so that they can focus on their coursework, and when they come back from Thanksgiving this year, they’re going to have two weeks left of the semester, so we want them to be able to really use that time to be with their family, but also make sure that they finish strong.”

The goal of the drive is to assist at least 100 students.

“People can find a list of items, a collection site, drop off locations, and even if they want to give monetarily (that helps us purchase the meat for the meals), they can find that at ectc.us/thanksgiving,” Angell said.

The Thanksgiving drive is held in conjunction with Family Scholar House. Contact Angell for more information on other ways to support ECTC students.
