HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 20, 2018 – High Point University’s Professional Selling Club was busy on Nov. 19 picking up Thanksgiving meals and delivering them to various Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater High Point locations.
The club raised enough funds to provide 75 full Thanksgiving meals to families in need. This is the fourth year HPU’s Selling Club has partnered with the organization.
“It’s always good working with the HPU students on this project because it’s the holiday season and you have a lot of families in need for a Thanksgiving meal,” said Kenny Mack, vice president of operations at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater High Point. “The families receive the sides, the drinks, and all of that makes a difference. We serve 75 families, which has a big impact in our organization.”
Michael Estrella, HPU senior and vice president of philanthropy, organized this event for the second year in a row and says it is worth serving the community.
“It’s the holiday season, so every good deed I do feels good,” said Estrella. “This is one of those activities where myself, the club and the university feels good about it.”
