Bring shoes and coats this Thursday to help less fortunate

Have shoes and coats that haven’t been worn in years? Gather them up and bring them to the shoe and coat drive tomorrow.

Students in the Prospects and Perils in the 21st Century course,  have banded together to collect as many used shoes and coats as possible.
