Last week the SXU Service Club had their first event of the year preparing and packaging sandwiches for the Bread Truck. The Bread truck is a part of the Port Ministries organization that serves the poor and homeless in a variety of ways.
The Bread Truck specifically focuses on passing out food everyday for those in need. According to their webpage (http://www.theportministries.org) they were able to serve over 150,000 meals in 2015 alone to the back of the yards.
The president of Service Club, Hannah Cruz, said “we received a lot of donations that allowed us to make over 200 sandwiches for the bread truck.” The sandwiches were prepared by volunteers and fellow service club members.
I attended and I can not explain how amazing it feels to get together with other students, friends, mentors, etc. and give back to the community. It makes me so proud to be an SXU cougar and express one of our core values— Service. With the amount of donations, volunteers, and meals prepared it shows how much of a difference we can make.
It is so inspiring when you hear what a difference a small campus made. I hope that word has spread and we continue to get together to make a difference in our community.
