Students in every cohort of Moraine Valley's fire science academies stocked Project Care, the college's food pantry, the school reported. The service project filled the pantry with canned goods and household items.
The donation is what those academy classes brought in. Project Care is the campus pantry that will hand the supplies out, and the academies made the drive a standing part of the program rather than a one-time club event.
For the classroom
Students in the fire science academies at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, Illinois, stocked the campus food pantry. The pantry is called Project Care. Every group of students in the academies did the same kind of service project, bringing canned food and household items. A campus pantry is a place where students who need groceries can get them. The gift is what these academy classes collected, and it is part of their training to serve the community, not only to fight fires.
