Community Engagement Programs and Partnerships (CEPP) is focused on projects aimed at helping others, involving students, staff, and faculty. Although in-person service activities aren’t happening right now, CEPP organizers have found ways to make sure the Milton community can give back. During Hunger Awareness Week in November, for example, student CEPP board members hosted an all-school Zoom session to educate students about food insecurity.
In December, CEPP is managing a gift drive to fulfill the wishes of 50 families supported by the Department of Children and Families, as well as area homeless families through Milton’s partners in the Boston Public Schools. Many student advisory groups together are also purchasing gifts for those in need. In addition, CEPP is collecting money for food baskets, with a goal of raising $1,500 by December 10. The food baskets will provide a turkey dinner for 30 families.
All Milton community members (students, faculty, staff, families) are welcome to donate. Students can contribute via their IA ($10 minimum) on this form. Cash or a check (made out to Milton Academy with a note: CEPP food drive) can be sent to the Community Engagement Office. Please email community_engagement@milton.edu with any questions.
