The presentation outlined how the social work program worked to expand the Dinners for Kids Program that was established in the Wyoming Valley West School District.</p><p>The program expanded in 2016 when Misericordia University students in the social work program and Campus Ministry collaborated with the Dallas School District to deliver meals to students in need in the Back Mountain area.

The program will deliver about 7,800 meals in its first year.</p><p>McDonald earned her doctorate in social work from Fordham University, New York, New York; Master of Social Work from Marywood University, Scranton, and Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice from King&#8217;s College, Wilkes-Barre.</p><style>
