Members of the Hudson Valley Community College chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, along with friends and family, volunteered at the Northeastern Regional Food Bank in Latham, on August 18.
This was a great opportunity for PTK members to get together in person as well as meet other fun volunteers at the food bank!
The group sorted through hundreds of packages of frozen meats including beef patties, steaks, turkey, and chicken. First, they carefully inspected the packages for quality and expiration dates, then sorted them into their respective categories, and finally boxed and weighed them for distribution. The packed boxes were immediately placed into a large refrigerated truck and delivered to various charity organizations for immediate distribution.
The PTK volunteers took this opportunity to help the community, one of the core values of Phi Theta Kappa. With its purpose of developing leadership and service, Phi Theta Kappa promotes academic excellence and fellowship for all its members. This is why members are proud to say #IAMPTK.
