LCUW organized several projects throughout the community in conjunction with the national observance, a time for charitable contributions on the heels of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Supplementing the volunteer outreach, the college's Human Resources Office collected gloves, socks and personal care items for donation to the 501 High St. facility.
