October Suitcase Drive
Our October drive was incredible! We visited Brockton, Burlington, Cambridge, Hadley, Northampton, Somerville, Woburn, and Wilmington, Massachusetts. Volunteers and contributors came out in droves. People dropped off, sorted, cleaned, and stacked suitcases, backpacks, and duffel bags. Even though the drive ended in the early afternoon everyone worked well passed 9 pm finishing up and moving everything to storage.
How many suitcases were contributed? Drum roll please!
Over 4,300!!!
Everyone wants to help and as a result we keep growing! Here are some photos of the day’s event:
