Each semester the Adelphi University Graduate Student Association votes for their favorite local charity. This semester it was Domestic Violence Emergency Food Pantry of the Family Services Program in Poughkeepsie that won the vote. The goal of this Graduate Student Association drive was to collect the most needed supplies of non-perishable food and baby items which included canned meats, baby food, diapers, pasta, sauces, oatmeal, etc. Moreover, the Adelphi students raise awareness of the much needed service The Domestic Violence Emergency Food Pantry offers its clients who are attempting to re-establish their lives in a safe environment.
