The donation was the result of a large fundraiser Alpha Delta Mu held for the benefit of the FoodBank. The name of this fundraiser was “Hungry For Change”. The event consisted of showing the film Food, Inc. Following the film, we hosted a question and answer session where members of Alpha Delta mu chapter asked our panel members questions relating to healthy food options.
The panel consisted of a local organic farmer named Matthew Bruckler and Ms. Rose-Hall Wilson, a representative from the FoodBank. We had scheduled two other panel members but unfortunately they had to cancel their attendance at the last minute.
The first purpose of this event was to educate students, faculty members, and members of our community about the importance of implementing healthy options into their diet. It was further designed to show attendees that healthy food options are important to everyone but even more important to those who cannot afford to implement healthy food option into their diets.
The second purpose of this event was to raise money for the FoodBank so that it may purchase a greenhouse. This has been a goal of Alpha Delta Mu chapter’s since October when Ms. Rose Hall-Wilson attended and spoke at one of our meetings. We feel that the FoodBank people who visit the FoodBank would greatly benefit from a greenhouse.
Before, during and after the event, members of Alpha Delta Mu chapter collected donations from businesses, students, fellow Phi Theta Kappa members, and members of the general public. Those who donated were entered into a raffle where they had the chance to win one of many “green” prizes.
The Culinary Club at Atlantic Cape even donated numerous different types of herbs that they had grown from the greenhouse located on the Mays Landing campus!
