Elizabethtown College exceeded its goal in its Make A Deposit, Make A Difference campaign by raising $5,000. The college matched these funds and announced it would double its match, totaling $10,000, to support local nonprofits affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of the campaign, Elizabethtown College will provide $5,000 to both the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank's Elizabethtown Bear Bags Program and the Elizabethtown Ministerium. The donations will help to provide area families with food supplies and resources.
In an effort to provide monetary donations, the college launched the Make a Deposit, Make a Difference campaign announcing it would match 100% of all deposits made by students between April 4 and 10. During the college's first-ever virtual Accepted Student Day event on April 4, the college met and surpassed its goal. The additional $5,000 in the match for the campaign was added in recognition of all the incoming students who committed prior to the campaign going live on April 4 and who were inspired after the launch announcement.
