Mount Saint Mary College students demonstrated their commitment to service during the “Pack It Forward” event on Wednesday, March 18, assembling hundreds of food items donated by the college community to support underserved people in Newburgh and beyond.
Organized by Mount Saint Mary College senior Ava DiScala of Seaford, N.Y., the event brought together the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the Student Government Association (SGA), and Campus Ministry.
The collaborative effort transformed the campus athletic facilities into a bustling assembly line of canned goods, pasta, and other non-perishable staples.
