L and C Nursing Club provides warm winter clothes for students

Lewis and Clark Community College Nursing Club students hosted a Winter Clothing Drive and Giveaway event for their fellow students this month.

Hundreds of clothing donations were collected from students, faculty and staff alike, and laid out by size and type, including items for all ages and even some summer clothes.

Students were given a chance to shop the tems free of charge, Wednesday, Nov. 28, and Thursday, Nov. 29. More than 75 students benefitted from the event.

Leftover donations were donated to Angel Ministries in Jerseyville.

The club coordinates a charitable event every semester. Past events have benefitted community organizations and college programs such as College for Life.
