Eleanor Johnson: Service

Hi! My name is Eleanor Johnson, and I am from Snohomish, Washington. I am majoring in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems and have a minor in dance. Outside of class I work with Campus Kitchens, a program on campus that takes leftover food from campus dining to cook warm meals that are then served to Gonzaga Family Haven and O’Malley Senior Center. Along with Setons I am apart of Women in Business, Beta Alpha Psi, and the involved in the Gonzaga dance program. In my free time I like to read, get coffee, take workout classes, and watch Gilmore Girls.   I joined Girl Scouts in first grade and ever since, Service has been extremely important to me and something I strive to keep a part of my life. Growing up in Girl Scouts allowed me to recognize the importance of helping those in my community from an early age and has ultimately led me to be the person I am today.

Ellyse Kirkland- Service


Hi everyone! My name is Ellyse Kirkland and I am a political science and international relations major from Lake Tahoe, Nevada. I felt particularly compelled to write this week's blog post because I wanted to share the service that my weekly group of girls completes every Tuesday afternoon. Setons of Gonzaga is partnered with an incredibly special organization called Blessings Under The Bridge. Every Tuesday, seven of us are tasked with making food, stuffing envelopes and doing other jobs here & there to help out. Every Wednesday, Blessings Under The Bridge organizes the preparation of a full meal and lots of donations of clothing. My particular service day is in charge of making different aspects of the food that they serve on Wednesdays. Our first week, we cut up all the ingredients for decedent burgers. Two weeks ago, we made over 600 meatballs for meatball sandwiches. Not only am I gaining kitchen experience, it’s also incredibly rewarding to be able to make the food that a significant number of the Spokane homeless population is benefiting from. Last semester I was even able to participate on Wednesday to help serve and interact with some of the individuals. Service through Setons has been the most rewarding aspect of my college experience at Gonzaga thus far. I’m so grateful and thrilled to be apart of a community of girls that values service and outreach as much as I do.
