A Word from Our Program Director

• The quick thinking intern who welcomed and assured a worried breathless mother of 6 who arrived after Pantry hours.  The Pantry volunteers who carefully packed meat and other groceries for her bus ride home.
• The quiet student athlete who applies her skill and enjoyment of numbers to prepare financial reports, and her kindness to assist new clients.
• A UT senior who devoted her summer and fall to understanding and communicating the ECC mission via a new skill — grant writing.
• The nutrition students who faithfully order, pick up, and drive more than a ton of food weekly from the Capital Area Food Bank, carry it box by box to the ECC Pantry, and organize it for distribution.
• The earnest intern who takes a new approach to teaching English to adults and receives affirmation from his students when they bring their friends to join the class too.
• The thoughtful student who independently worked with clients to understand their needs and initiated a successful diaper drive at UT in response.
• The intern who uses his skill in social media to find a host of willing UT students to assist in operations.
• Problem solving by two tireless creative interns which resulted in a revitalized and visually appealing ECC webpage in one weekend.
• The energetic and resourceful intern who executed the Halloween Party plan that made a night to remember.
