These are 8th grade Georgia College Early College scholars who met with Dean Peters and Associate Dean Harrison to seek their permission and advice in our “It’s Scary to be Hungry” food collection drive in collaboration with Cafe Central, a local food bank for the needy in the Baldwin County community. We collected food to combat local poverty, a topic we have researched in conjunction with our STEAM initiative, “Greenhouse Dreamhouse”, where our students have designed and created mini-greenhouses to grow flowers; our dream is to design an easy and affordable way for people to get fresh food in food deserts or real deserts, anywhere that fresh fruits or vegetables are hard to acquire.  Thank you, gentlemen, for your time and support in our efforts. We are dreaming big at GCEC!
