First annual Santa Bucks program reaches 200
It was a concept that had never been done before on
campus: collect donated food and clothing, and then
give it away free to NLC students.
On Dec. 4, 2002, about 200 students lined up to receive
their $25 in play money (Santa Bucks) to go shopping.
Some spent it all on food; others purchased clothing
for Christmas gifts.
The project was sponsored by the Journalism Club and
was open to every student at North Lake College. The
only requirement was that the student show an I.D.
About 600 pounds of food and boxes and boxes of gently
worn clothing were donated by faculty and staff members
to the program.
Lisa ‘Lolly’ Arden, an instructional associate
in the journalism lab, and Emily Knowles, a student
writer for the News-Register, worked long hours sorting
and stacking all the items for the first annual Santa
Bucks program
Because of the program’s success, it will return
in December.
