Members and officers of College of Western Idaho's (CWI) Beta Sigma Pi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society continued their efforts to address food insecurity on campus, assembling more than 220 bags of food and hygiene supplies for students in need.
Building on their College Project from last year, chapter members packed more than 120 bags of nonperishable food and more than 100 bags of hygiene products. The supplies were distributed to campus food pantries at Ada County Campus Pintail Building (APIN), Ada County Campus Mallard Building (AMAL), Nampa Campus Micron Education Center (NMEC), Nampa Campus CapEd Student Success Center (NCSC), and Canyon County Center (CYNC).
The effort was part of the College Project, an annual PTK initiative that encourages students to collaborate with their college president on a project supporting their institution's mission and vision.
Chapter officers chose to continue focusing on food insecurity, recognizing that access to food and basic necessities remains a challenge for some students and can affect their ability to focus on coursework. The donated supplies help stock campus food pantries, where students can access resources to meet their basic needs.food pantries, where students can access resources to help meet their basic needs.
