Last Sunday the CRC had a table at the Winter Bowl collecting letters for soldiers who cannot come home over the holiday season and coats for the homeless. The Winter Bowl was a great event and really fun place to be and we saw a lot of success in both coats and letters. Oddly enough, the total for both at the moment is 78!
However, the coat drive is still going on until the 17th, so there will be even more coats raised than 78 -- something very impressive and indicative of the great community here in East Lansing. If you would still like to donate a coat, bins are located at the following locations: Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road; East Lansing City Hall, 410 Abbott Road; Lansing Community College East, 2827 Eyde Parkway; and Suite 113 in the Student Services Building on the MSU campus (Career Services Network).
We would like to thank the East Lansing community for coming together and helping out with the coat and letter drive. It was a cold day and not very good conditions for taking off those gloves and writing a letter, but a ton of people still pitched in and wrote a letter or brought a coat. It was great to see that kind of compassion from our community.
