Students from the Â鶹ÊÓƵ East Liverpool physical therapist assistant (PTA) and the occupational therapy assistant (OTA) programs joined efforts to help support the Banquet of Lisbon.
The students used fundraisers to make a combined donation of $600 to help the Columbiana County campuses host the banquet on Oct. 24.
Each year, PTA and OTA students from the Kent East Liverpool campus find unique ways to increase awareness about their fields, while raising funds for a cause chosen by the classes.
The Banquet of Lisbon is held each month at the New Lisbon Presbyterian Church in Lisbon, providing free meals to community members. The meals are planned and sponsored by volunteers from service groups, businesses, families and area churches.
For the past several years, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Salem and East Liverpool campuses have hosted sit-down meals for the Banquet of Lisbon. Faculty, staff and students volunteer to prepare and serve meals to hundreds of area community members.
