CSM Students Volunteer in the Community to Support Sustainable Development Goals
Introduction
College of Southern Maryland (CSM) students have been actively participating in community service activities during this season of giving. Their efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which aim to address various global challenges and create a more sustainable future.
Supporting Latino Students and Families
In St. Mary’s County, students from CSM’s EXITO International Club and CSM staff collaborated with Grupo Bienestar, a non-profit organization supporting Latino students and families. Together, they organized a Family Fiesta in Lexington Park. This annual event provides a platform for bilingual communities to connect with local agencies and access information related to healthcare, childcare, and education.
CSM’s Contribution
CSM EXITO members actively participated in the Family Fiesta by providing attendees with information about English as a Second Language (ESL) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) programming. Additionally, the CSM team donated food baskets to needy families, emphasizing the importance of addressing hunger and promoting well-being, which are key SDGs.
Addressing Food Insecurities
In Charles County, CSM students and alumni came together at New Life Church in La Plata to serve a free dinner and distribute packaged meals to community members experiencing food insecurities. This initiative aimed to tackle SDG 2: Zero Hunger, by ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food.
Positive Impact
CSM Student Needs Resource and Outreach Coordinator, Jehnell Linkins, expressed their satisfaction with the community service activities. They mentioned that more than 78 meals were distributed, and dinner was served to 50 neighbors, highlighting the positive impact of their efforts.
