The Gamma Sigma Chapter at Kent State University East Liverpool held meetings in February to organize and kickstart the service project. All members decided to do a group project assisting Dr. Dankovich with his food pantry that he has on campus for all Kent State East Liverpool Students. The pantry shut down during covid and was reopened, but currently lacks a lot of needed supplies. We collectively agreed to raise awareness about the food pantry throughout campus.

Our main focus was making sure students were aware of the resources available and how to access them. We accomplished this by speaking about the food pantry to students, hosting a food drive, and posting flyers throughout campus. All in all, we estimate over a thousand items were collected/donated to the food pantry for our service project. This also includes hygiene products, infant formula, diapers, and household paper products. The project started in February and ended the last week of April. After the donations were finished being collected some of the members (Julian Maymon, Madison Cooke, Vitoria Cornell, Riley Grisez) stayed during lunch break and enlisted the help of Professors and other nursing students to fully stock the pantry with the supplies.
