For the annual philanthropic event, this year the ConnAPA Student Board partnered with New Haven’s Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK) for the month of November to collect warming winter times and donate our time.
Thanks to all of the support from the PA schools across the state, we were able to collect just over 200lbs of supplies to be donated to DESK in addition to volunteering for 27.5 hours! Those at DESK were very grateful to receive the items in support of the New Haven community. We were able to donate 17 tents, 17 sleeping bags, and tons of hand warmers!
Across the schools, Quinnipiac was able to garner the most points between donations and volunteering, but we could not have had a successful event if it were not for the collective efforts across all our schools.
Thank you to all that participated in supporting our local communities!
