In the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, Landmark College students expressed an immediate interest in participating in service based relief efforts.
With the support of the College and efforts of organizer Meghan Benzel, a Landmark College Alumna, a three day Relief Program was organized Nov. 16 – 18. During their 48 hours in Rockaway, New York, the Landmark College Sandy Relief Team demolished six homes, rebuilt three storage sheds, and donated 17 bags of clothing, four bags of blankets, five pounds of food, three cases of water, and six cases of soda. They saved one woman from being evicted, provided daycare for five children, and fed six families. Most importantly, they gave residents hope and listened to their tear-filled stories.
Here are a few highlights from their service program. For the full story and to learn more about Landmark College find us at www.landmark.edu
