The College\u2019s enrollment campaign provides donations to the local community<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the third consecutive year, Elizabethtown College launched the Make A Deposit, Make A Difference<\/em> campaign to benefit the local community. Etown will match all deposits made by first-year students who enroll at the College between Feb. 12 and March 12. The College has set a goal of $15,000 and will donate its proceeds to local non-profits organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a campus community deeply engaged with our College\u2019s Educate for Service motto and benefiting the lives of those in need,\u201d Elizabethtown College Vice President for Enrollment Management John F. Champoli said. \u201cWe are thrilled when new students join our Blue Jay family, and the Make A Deposit, Make A Difference<\/em> campaign makes it extra exciting to be able to share that monumental decision by impacting another person\u2019s life in a meaningful way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This year’s recipients of the Make A Deposit, Make A Difference\u00a0<\/em>proceeds are Milagro House <\/a>and Water Street Mission<\/a> located in Lancaster, and Downtown Daily Bread<\/a> located in Harrisburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur enrollment has been up for the past two consecutive years and is on pace to increase again this year,\u201d Champoli said. \u201cWe credit our exceptional academic programs, desirable graduation and job placement rates, and our vibrant student life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabethtown College launched the Make a Deposit, Make a Difference<\/em> campaign in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The effort aligns with the College\u2019s motto Educate for Service, which was adopted in 1915. Educate for Service expresses the campus community\u2019s belief that the pursuit of knowledge is most noble when used to benefit others.<\/p>\n

More About This Year’s Partnering Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Milagro House offers education, housing, and supportive services for women and their children who without our program would likely be experiencing homelessness. It is the only program of its kind in the Lancaster area that has education as its foundation with the belief that it is a critical component to breaking the barriers that prevent the women we serve from obtaining a job that pays a family-sustaining wage and allows them to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their children.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Water Street Mission is a faith-based, trauma-informed organization that has been working to provide restorative services to those in Lancaster County experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty since 1905. They provide a variety of services including access to emergency food and shelter, a long term residential program, medical and dental care, vocational training, resources for those with behavioral health and those battling addiction, community food distribution, an early learning center, and a center for mentoring and development for teens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Downtown Daily Bread has been a gateway to basic human services for hundreds of homeless and hungry individuals in Harrisburg for over thirty-eight years. It is the only one-stop, walk-in resource center for all hungry and homeless individuals. They offer a soup kitchen, day shelter, and a winter season night shelter for members of the Harrisburg community.<\/p>\n
