^Dorm storm^ helps homeless
Ashley Barn as

Last Friday, three students drove to a
local homeless shelter to deliver products
purchased with money collected from
Catholic Campus Ministry’s Winter Term
“Dorm Storm.”
Over Winter Term, Catholic Campus
Ministry [CCM] members participated in the
“Dorm Storm” to collect money for buying
products to donate to Allied Churches of
Burlington.
Eight students, split into four groups of
two, stormed the dorms on campus to collect
money. The small groups gathered mostly
change, some bills and from one generous
student, $20. Even without Danieley and
most of The Oaks, the CCM students were
able to collect an overwhelming $441 by the
end of the night.
Senior Beth Costy, head of the
Community Service Committee for CCM,
says she was apprehensive about the idea of
a Dorm Storm at first, but was eventually
convinced by the other members.
After collecting donations during the
Dorm Storm, Costy, accompanied by fellow
CCM officers Christen Aquino and
Christine Monllos, went to Costco in
Greensboro and bought $438 worth of
forks, knives, spoons, cups, toilet paper,
plates, bowls and napkins.
Last Friday, Costy, Lisa Rohde and
Michael Gissy drove an Elon van to Allied
Churches to dehver the goods. Nutritional
Director Michelle Embree gave a brief tour
of the facility and explained that they feed
anywhere from 70 to 160 homeless people
per meal.
“This was awesome,” Embree said. “If
everybody did a little bit, there’s no reason
for anyone to be hungry in this country.
What you did today was really valuable.”
