Columbia
Taking A Bite Out of Hunger
in South Carolina
The Psychology Club led the way at South University, Columbia by holding a much-needed food drive for the Harvest
Hope Food Bank in December. The Psychology Club students promoted the food drive across the campus, encouraging
all students, faculty and staff to bring canned goods, boxed foods, household items, cleaning supplies and diapers.
President of the Psychology Club, student Annette DeCosta, said, “It was fun to bring everyone together to focus on
feeding those in our community who are facing hard times, especially right before the holidays.”
“It was great to see the students find a cause and make a plan for promoting it on campus,” said Luanne Kea, psychology
instructor. “Our campus is large with a lot of different students coming for day and evening classes, so the Psychology
Club really planned how to make sure everyone could get involved.”
Their efforts were very successful, with the campus donating over 500 pounds of food. The Harvest Hope Food Bank,
in partnership with dozens of universities, ministries and churches, serves an area of approximately 20 counties around
the South Carolina capital city.
