The Educational Opportunity Center Cosmetology Program holds a clinic each week for the community with free services. This allows students to practice their skills while giving back to the community.
This year in honor of the EOC’s 50th Anniversary, the students are asking anyone who comes into the clinic to donate a canned food item, a boxed food item, or toiletries that will in turn be donated to two local shelters with the goal of collecting more than 50 boxes full of these items.
On Dec. 9, the students delivered their first batch of more than 15 copier paper boxes stuffed with food and toiletries to Sheridan Hollow Drop-in Center in Albany (www.interfaithpartnership.com) along with clothing they personally donated.
The students received a tour and were able to ask questions about the drop-in center. The students were deeply touched by what our community does for those in need and are anxious to visit the second site!
