This will be a contactless event, and we propose having food donation boxes at all three campus locations, either outside or inside the first set of doors, so Hybrid students are able to donate at their respective campuses. An officer from SOMA, who is already a hybrid student at each campus location, will be responsible for dropping off the box on Monday and collecting it on Friday. Kaitlyn Chadwick is a hybrid PBL student at Bayfront and would be responsible for the Bayfront collection box; Rachel Campitell is a hybrid student at West and would be responsible for the West collection box; Kevin Tay is a hybrid student at Main and would be responsible for the Main collection box. We will advertise this event to the entire LECOM student body so they are able to participate. Our option for remote students to participate will be for them to donate money via Venmo to our SOMA Treasurer, who will then give the money to Second Harvest Food Bank. At the conclusion of the Food Drive, I will arrange a date and time to drop off the collection boxes with the food bank; this will be done in a contact-free manner.
