All Month Long - S.O.U.L.S. Canned Food and Warm Clothing Drive

Clean out your closet and your pantry! Help those in need by donating your gently-used clothing and non-perishable food to local food pantries and homeless shelters. This year shelters are in high need of new socks. Last year, we collected over 2000 cans and 500 articles of clothing. All food donations will go to the Oasis Coalition. All clothing donations will go to the Boston Rescue Mission and the St. Francis House. Donation boxes are located at the Hub (Donahue lobby), the S.O.U.LS. Office (Donahue 209), the Beacon Hill Civic Association (74 Joy Street in Beacon Hill), all residence halls, and many other academic departments.
