Kate Stenger ’22 and Lauren Stenger ’22, team up in an effort to combat food insecurity.
With some extra time on my hands this winter break, my sister and I decided to continue our service project from the spring. We sold hoodies to support social distancing, and to provide meals for people struggling with food insecurity. You can read my past grant posts to learn more about the project here! Because we had sorted out many of the details in the spring, (such as creating the website, finding a manufacturer, creating pamphlets, etc..) the continuation of the project ran very smoothly. We continued to sell the same “Alone Together” hoodie, plus we added a navy version. My role in this service project was promoting the product, shipping out the orders, and communicating with the manufacturer.
Continuing this project retaught me the power of teamwork and my community. Without the help of my sister Kate, and the support of my family, I am sure that this service project would not have succeeded. On that note, without the support of my community, such as the CSGC and the customers, no change would have been made. I am so happy that I was able to use my free time wisely by supporting families around the nation. Thank you to the Workman family for supporting my project both in the spring and this past winter break!
