The Warm Coat Drive is part of a larger effort to ensure students’ most basic needs are met. Explore resources available to support core needs both on campus and in the local community including meals, clothing, and emergency needs.
This drive is a partnership between Center for Career Development, Newbury Center, Student Wellbeing, and Sustainability.
