TSTCDonation2012

Texas State Technical College student organizations and staff presented Good Samaritan Ministries with food and a monetary donation gathered through fundraising this past month.

According to faculty member Charlotte Tongate, the food and fundraising project was part of the TSTC Women’s Leadership Institute final project.  Through their efforts, the group collected several shopping bags full of food as well as $1054 of funds benefiting the Good Samaritan Ministries.

The group held a garage sale and two separate fundraisers at Dollar General to raise all the food and funds.  Tongate stated that this was the first fundraiser that she had ever been in charge of coordinating and that she learned there is a lot to putting a fundraising project together.

TSTC student groups participating and assisting in the project included the Women’s Leadership Institute, Student Government, Phi Theta Kappa, and the Chemical Dependency Counseling Program.

Tongate stated that she chose Good Samaritan after touring the GSM facility and made her decision based on their service to the community and how their organization is run.

“I was so impressed with how organized you are and how beautiful the building is.  I knew that your program was the right organization for our project,” said Tongate to Good Samaritan Executive Director Angelia Bostick.

Bostick was happy to receive the food and funds donation and stated that the money will go a long way.

“With the money given today, we can purchase approximately 5000 pounds of food, that’s two and a half tons,” said Bostick.  “Thank you so much for your hard work.”

Tongate also thanked Bostick and the Good Samaritan Ministries organization for all that they do for the community.

The Women’s Leadership Institute is actually a co-ed group and each year 14 people are chosen from all of TSTC for a nine month training which includes leadership training, a trip to Waco to the TSTC campus there, and a final service project.
