We’re helping our neighbors in need through a Winter Clothing Drive benefiting St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen and Free Clothing Store in Scranton.

From January 12 through January 30, students, faculty, and staff can drop off donations before or after classes & labs at collection bins located inside Ideal Saldi Hall and the Moffat Student Center on the Scranton campus, as well as in the lobby of the Hazleton campus.

Members of the general public are welcome to donate Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm at the collection bin on the side porch of Richmond House on the lower part of our Scranton campus.

Every donation helps keep a neighbor warm and reminds them they’re not alone. Thank you for being part of a caring Johnson College community. 💙
