This semester, students chose to collect hoodies, blankets, sweatshirts, etc. for children in foster care. To achieve their goals, they collected donations through Facebook groups, friends, churches and other organizations throughout Sangamon, Christian, Morgan, Menard, Macon and Cass counties. On Friday, Dec. 3, they sorted the donations by type and size, creating and coloring labels for the boxes, and then delivered the donations to the Family Services Center.
