Northwestern’s Social Workers Association of Tomorrow Give Donations for Compassion in Action Dignity Drive to Campus Cabinet Food Pantry

Northwestern’s Campus Cabinet food pantry receives donations from the SWAT Compassion in Action Dignity Drive. SWAT Enid campus members pictured (left to right) with donations are Julie Mayer and Barbara McPherson.

Students in the Social Workers Association of Tomorrow (SWAT) chapter at Northwestern Oklahoma State University recently completed their Compassion in Action Dignity Drive for the 2020 fall semester.

SWAT is a student-run organization that seeks to enhance the social work learning experience. One of SWAT’s purposes is to employ community service projects while supporting community partners and their consumers. The Compassion in Action Dignity Drive is one of the community service projects SWAT students host to give back to the community.

This year SWAT was able to gather donations for Northwestern’s Campus Cabinet food pantry at all three campus locations to begin filling their personal hygiene product needs.

“Gathering these donations was not possible without the help from the Northwestern community,” Jennifer Pribble, SWAT sponsor and assistant professor of social work, said. “The annual Dignity Drive would not be possible without this wonderful community and the giving spirit this community has.”

The Campus Cabinet is a resource available to assist Northwestern students and employees on all three campuses. This resource offers non-perishable food assistance as well as personal hygiene products. In order to assist, all requests can be made via their online web form. To learn more and access this resource visit their website at https://www.www.nwosu.edu/campus-cabinet.

SWAT members would like to thank everyone who assisted with putting this event together and those who were able to donate from all three Northwestern locations.

“The Dignity Drive is something that pulls all students from the three Northwestern locations together to be able to assist the community,” Wynter Wilson, SWAT president and Woodward senior, said. “As the pandemic thrived, students of Northwestern fought back, showing their resilience and desire to be able to serve the community.”
