Patricia Erdman, Weber State University

Patricia Erdman, a junior at Weber State University, began a food distribution program three years ago that has served over 5,000 low-income families.  Patricia, a fulltime student and mother of three, orchestrated daily and weekly distribution of food to apartment complexes through her partnership with a local church.  Her next plan is to add produce and dairy to the deliveries.

Campus Compact's workshops have been extremely valuable. Faculty often become energized by the workshop content and bring that enthusiasm back to campus."
