    EBC Ambassadors Gather Groceries For Good Cause
    Erie Business Center's Student Ambassadors recently coordinated a food drive to support the Erie City Mission. Following a weeklong campaign to collect nonperishable food items from members of the EBC community, Ambassadors Adam Suroviec and Jessica Witt unloaded a "truckload" of donations at the Family Care Ministry site on French Street in Erie. Along to help with the cause was Brian Kruszewski, head of EBC's computer department.

    The City Mission is a nonprofit organization that serves those in need in the community by providing physical, emotional, environmental and spiritual care. This care often comes in the form of hot, nourishing daily lunches or provisions of bread and baked goods. The City Mission, through its Family Care Ministry, also distributes bags of food and basic necessities to disadvantaged families.
