| On Martin Luther King Day, January 15, three Rider University Community Scholars, a Rider staff member and a graduate student stocked food items, cleaned and sorted donations at The Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton on East Hanover Street in Trenton.

Volunteering their services were, left to right: Heather Holland, Rider's community service coordinator /Bonner program director; Melissa Melendez, a senior biochemistry major; Uchenna Duru, a junior human resource management major; and Mary Ann Somaine, graduate assistant at the Center for Multicultural Affairs and Community Service.
