Hugs USA is a non-profit dedicated to collecting and distributing hats, umbrellas, underwear, gloves, scarves, and socks for homeless people across the United States.
A special aspect of Hugs USA is the distribution of old and used items to the animals of those living on the streets.
The Animal Outreach Club is collecting used blankets, scarves, and/or warm clothing for this purpose through the end of the semester on Friday, Dec. 14.
Collection locations across campus include:
Guenther Enrollment Services Center (outside Financial Aid)
Siek Campus Center (near the staircase outside CAAT)
Administration Building
Science Center
Marvin Library Learning Commons.
Congratulations and thanks to Animal Outreach Club President Deanna Carr for doing all of the preparation, research, permissions and legwork on this initiative!
