Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Clare Kennedy - Service


    Hi! My name is Clare Kennedy and I’m from Portland, Oregon. I’m a Psychology major with a General Business minor and I am so happy to be a part of Setons and have had so much fun being active this semester! I’m a huge dog lover, enjoy painting and love getting involved in the Spokane community.
    I have had an incredible time at my service placement, Blessings Under the Bridge. Every Tuesday, Libby, Ashley, and I make meals to be distributed at a Wednesday night feed for people experiencing food insecurity in Spokane, including the homeless population. Normally we make sandwiches, but this week we made shepherd’s pie and green pudding for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed feast. Although we have not been able to directly interact with the community we are serving, volunteering at Blessing has helped me grow closer to my sisters and learn more about all the great work that the organization does. On our first day of serving, we were given a tour of the property and were able to see the behind-the-scenes aspect of Blessings, where there are mass donations of food, clothing, furniture, and other goods people are in need of. It was inspiring to see how Blessings seeks to meet the needs of the community while treating all their friends that they serve with dignity and love. I can’t wait to continue to serve!
