Members \u00a0of the HVCC chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society volunteered at the Northeastern Regional Food Bank Northway Lane location on March 31. They sorted through hundreds of pounds of frozen meats including hamburgers, steaks, turkey, chicken, duck, lambchops, and even turducken! 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. After packing the boxes, they were immediately placed into a large refrigerated truck for delivery to various charity organizations for immediate distribution. This was a great opportunity for PTK members to get together in person and meet volunteers at the food bank!<\/p>\n

On April 1, PTK members volunteered at the South End Children\u2019s Caf\u00e9 in Albany to help out with a fun Easter Egg Hunt! The April Fool\u2019s Day joke was getting snow that day, which \u00a0prevented the event from being outdoors. However, this did not stop the fun in any way. The volunteers arrived early to hide the egg treats filled with candy. After school, the children, (ages 5 and up) cheerfully arrived to find the hidden eggs. The children then decorated their own hard-boiled eggs with bright food coloring and fun designs. It was a fun afternoon for all and as always, a great opportunity to share smiles and laughter!<\/p>\n
