Freshman Assisting Others

Kate Dixon found a way to make disinfectant wipes for her grandmother and other senior citizens.
     Freshman Kate Dixon heard her grandmother asking her family to help find disinfectant wipes.
     She started thinking about it and came up with an idea — to make her own wipes and share with her grandmother as well as others in her grandmother's senior citizen community.
     Dixon and her family gathered the supplies and started creating the disinfectant wipes. She delivered them to her grandmother and her neighbors.
     "I wanted to come up with a meaningful community service idea," Dixon said. "My grandmother's neighbors were so excited — some of them don't have disinfectant wipes or are on their last container."
