In addition, The ONE Campaign has been extremely supportive, since their "Make Poverty History" mission coincides directly with the goals of Swipe for the Hungry, and many of their members were among the first to donate and help advertise for the program," said Fazzino.
The convenience of the program itself makes participation in Swipe for the Hungry easier. No more worries of finding time to pick up food for food drives or missing the deadlines to donate.
"Programs like these are probably even more successful than traditional food drives because we don't have to worry about going out to the stores and buying the food, and then finding the drop off places for it," said graduate student Kevin Hannigan.
It is easier for a student to commit to it, because it is so convenient, said Hannigan
It doesn't entail too much work from the students. It's a painless solution to helping out the hungry.
"If it is for a good cause, [then] why not," said senior Alicea Corey.
In this holiday season, the spirit of giving is an important one for students to share with the less fortunate. Already, there have been hundred of points collected and the numbers keep on growing.
"We're hoping that students will have a good enough response to the program, and with FLIK's continued support, we are hoping this will become a semester-end tradition that Sacred Heart can participate in for years to come," said Fazzino.
