Talk about Big Citizenship – sixty-eight  Boston University freshmen spent two days with us. Their impact was outrageous!

These students gave a collective 400 hours of their love and their labor to help process thousands of items – “gently used” clothes, books, toys and school supplies. Photos from their two days are here

Talk about Tangible Philanthropy – their gift will help over 500 local children be able to start the new school year with the basic essentials they need.

With over 30,000 SouthCoast children living in poverty, the need is overwhelming and in two days we were able to process a week’s worth of output.
