Students in the Organization of Student Social Workers (OSSW) responded to a request from fellow OSSW officer Alisa Do and her friend Sandy Wong to collect clothing to help shivering homeless people. Even though it wasn't on their original community service agenda, other OSSW officers agreed to help and collected 50 bags of clothing here at the School, benefiting the shelters Noel House and New Beginnings. Teen and men's clothes went to Treehouse, which supports children and young adults in the foster care system.
