Honors
Program students collecting items for homeless shelter
When
students in the Introduction to Human Communications class had
to come up with a service-learning project, several Honors Program students formed
a group and decided to help people staying at the Safe Harbour homeless shelter
in Carlisle.
According
to sophomore Kelsey Stasyszyn, “It’s a homeless shelter that helps
individuals who maybe in the middle of their life had a crisis and just ended
up with nothing and are trying to get back on their feet.”
Safe
Harbour is a not-for-profit organization that provides an emergency shelter for
families and single females who are in desperate need of a secure place to live
and who wish to begin getting their lives under control
“We’re
hoping to raise money to donate to the shelter. In addition we’re looking for donations for things like,
pillows, mattress pads, fans, diapers, any type of warm clothing, socks, towels
and washcloths, socks, non-perishable food items and personal hygiene
products,” said sophomore, Kayleigh Chreyer.
“We’re just trying to give the people at Safe
Harbour the boost they need,” said first-year student Jimmy Scott.
Items can
be dropped off at Seavers Apartments 103 or at the Honors Program office, Horton Hall 201. The group is hoping to collect all
items by Nov. 21.
“We wanted
to do something a little more personal and something no one has done before,” added
first-year student Ashley Seyler.
