REDDING, Calif. - Simpson University wrapped up its holiday clothing drive on Jan. 29, donating several barrels of coats, jeans and socks to the Good News Rescue Mission.
Mike Wheland, senior manager of operations at the mission, and Sabrina Charlson, events and marketing coordinator, visited campus at lunchtime to collect the final donations.
The clothing drive was coordinated by the university’s Wellness Center and Student Development Office. Donations also came from community members, who were able to drop off items in the Owen Center and Heritage Center lobbies throughout December and January.
“It was a pleasure working with the Good News Rescue Mission,” said Janine Bonanno, Wellness Center assistant. “Thank you to all those who gave.”
