Saturday’s clothing giveaway at the Asarese-Matters Youth Center (one block from BSC on Rees Street) was a heartwarming success.  Thanks to our wonderful  on campus and off campus partners who donated generously to this effort, we were able to help more than 25 families (which equates to approximately 100 people), with the remaining clothing going to a charitable group on the west side.  Several people filled multiple bags and everyone was thankful  that they could actually take items of clothing, shoes, jewelry, children’s books/toys, and houseware items for “free”.  We also made “new friends” of the youth on the basketball court by providing them with donated t-shirts and other goodies. [more…]
