Evergreen Giving

Evergreen Giving

It’s a Lasallian Program that would be started right here at Christian Brothers. The program is year round like an evergreen tree. They help those in need of supplies. The program wants to focus on those that don’t meet the requirements to get benefits such as EBT or welfare. Some individuals are put into this bracket that states they should be well off because of their pay. However, some people are living pay check to pay check. Factor cost of living, food, transportation, cost of kids, etc. and some people are barely staying afloat. Evergreen is a program that will help by providing groceries, transportation to those in need, and an emergency fund of up to $5,000. The program will not only help those in need but help those students that have the desire to make change. Evergreen Giving is a unique opportunity for students to get involve with the betterment of people. The program offers benefits to those students such as allowing the program to be a SOS event. Community service is also an added benefit to individual’s resumes. Funding will come from donations, fundraisers, sponsorships. This program is a great start in the direction of change. The first step to fixing a problem is acknowledging that there is a problem. The program can allow character building, networking, and community uplifting. The program could quite possibly branch out to other colleges/universities.
