Making the holidays a little brighter

Jeremiah Drummond, right, is an Emerging Public Leader in the Riley Institute.

Jeremiah Drummond, a Dorman High School senior, is helping needy families capture the Christmas spirit this year by providing free holiday portraits to needy families.  His initiative, “Picture a Family Together,” is a service project he developed for the Riley Institute’s Emerging Public Leaders program at Furman. When Drummond and a team of volunteers spent a morning at the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen photographing people for their holiday photos, their efforts were chronicled by WYFF-TV, FOX Carolina and the Spartanburg Herald Journal.  WSPA-TV also reported on Drummond’s efforts to reach out to the community.
