The "Snack Packers" spent two hours in Modell's Sports Complex assembling more than 1,200 snack packs for the Center for Food Action during the "D-E Fights Hunger" community service event, which also involved a collection of non-perishable food items as well as monetary donations.
"Matt Waltman '16 applied for a Youth Service America grant for this project, and we got it, " said Director of Student Activities Maya Gunaseharan '08, who added, "...With [the $400] grant and the donations of the community, we raised over $3,500."
Then on May 1, in response to the April 25 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal, a bake sale was hosted by D-E's Middle School, CODES (Community Outreach of D-E School), and the parents of the South Asian Affinity Group. This lunchtime bake sale - whose goodies were contributed by a dozen D-E community members, including students and faculty members - managed to raise more than $1,000 for Nepal relief efforts.
