UTC students, faculty, and staff were able to sponsor a child in need this holiday to buy them necessities and gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve definitely seen a [participation] increase this year. We started with 150 names and had to get more names,\u201d said Savannah Wexler, a junior who is in SAC.<\/p>\n<p>After the gifts are donated, student volunteers wrap and organize them before taking them to the site where families can pick up their gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that I can come to a campus where we\u2019re all about love and giving back to the community, which means a lot to me,\u201d said Jennifer Vesey, a freshman member of Gamma Phi Beta who donated to the Angel Tree campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Turkey Train<\/h2>\n<p><iframe style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\"src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-AYvJl7ljek?rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;autohide=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Turkey Train was the brainchild of Amanda Morgan Fann, Freshman Senate Campus &amp; Community Service Chair, who thought this would be a fun way to help feed underprivileged families. The Train challenged student organizations to see which one could raise the most money for the cause and take home this year\u2019s Turkey Train trophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the holidays, some people can\u2019t celebrate because they\u2019re worried if they\u2019ll even make it to the next day because they don\u2019t have food. This provides them with a worry free day of being with their families,\u201d said Fann.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 20 turkeys and $120 were donated to the Chattanooga Food Bank. Students lined Cardiac Hill to pass the turkeys hand to hand up the hill and into the waiting Food Bank trucks, where they would go to families in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the season of giving, UTC students have participated in several philanthropic activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2016\/12\/student-giving\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":857,"featured_media":16480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,3,12659],"tags":[313,332,247,904,48263],"class_list":{"0":"post-16445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus","8":"category-community","9":"category-events-entertainment","10":"tag-angel-tree","11":"tag-sac","12":"tag-student-alumni-council","13":"tag-sga","14":"tag-turkey-train","15":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
