October 24, 2021 at 6:13 PMApprovedFirst Harvest Food Bank Holiday Drive Thru Food DriveSOMA10/24/202111/17/2021The Second Harvest Foodbank recently reached out to see if we could help staff their Holiday Drive-Thru Food Drive! This is the 21st year for this incredible event, which serves four Pennsylvania counties, and last year the Erie location gathered nearly 10,000 pounds of food. Ten Thousand Pounds. The event will take place at the Erie News Now station at 3514 State Street, Erie, PA 16508 on Wednesday, November 17, 2021. At the food drive, we will be unloading donations out of people’s vehicles, weighing them, and loading them into a large Second Harvest semi. This event will take place entirely outside and participants will be masked and gloved. Participants will sanitize between each load of donation collected. Community members that are donating will be encouraged to stay in their cars to minimize contact. Our goal would be to get a total of 7 students interested in as many of the following 2hr time slots as we can: 6AM-8AM 8AM-10AM 10AM-12PM 12PM-2PM 2PM-4PM 4PM-6:30PM
October 25, 2021 at 10:12 PMApprovedHoliday Card Drive for St. Mary's SLCSOMA10/25/202111/29/2021Idea: SOMA will be putting together a Holiday Card drive. This will be a contactless event, and we propose having collection boxes at the entrance to Main Campus. Students will be able to leave the cards for collection. Items will be picked up at the end of the drive by myself (Ellie Schommer) or Co-Chair Garrett Kettle. We will advertise this event to the entire Class of 2024 and class of 2025 so they are able to participate. At the conclusion of the drive, I will arrange a date and time to drop off the supplies to St. Mary’s Senior Living Center. This will be done in a contact-free manner. Why: SOMA wants to create a COVID-safe opportunity for students to get involved in the Erie community.

We are going to be raising money for Active Minds in the month of September. Active Minds is a charity that raises money to help with suicide prevention. We decided to do it during the month of September since it is suicide prevention month. We have decided to give the top 5 participants $10 gift cards. We are also going to send out a form for the people who are interested in participating, and then on the first day of the event we are going to send out the team name for everyone to join and then start walking, running, or biking. Everything is done on the app called Charity Miles, and the money is sent to the charity directly through the app. The participants will just make an account, join our team, and then work out on their own to raise money for the charity.

January 15, 2022 at 2:29 PMApprovedAdvanced Directives Information PresentationSOMA01/15/202203/09/2022Many students (myself included) do not know how to create an advanced directive, carry one out, or even what one is. This remote presentation (via Zoom) from Amy Ventry, MSW and Social Service Coordinator at Lakeland Area Hospice, will guide us through what an advanced directive is and how to write one for ourselves, and how to carry out one for our future patients. With COVID becoming increasingly present in our world and with younger people being severely affected, it is important that young adults have advanced directives in place. While we hope to never need to use advanced directives, it is still crucial that we have our wishes be known in the event of being unable to make these decisions. Amy will give a 45 minute remote presentation about advanced directives, and then will open the floor for questions about advanced directives and her presentation.
