SCC students collect food for food banks on MLK Day of Service

SCC Students say "Donate to the Food Bank!"

The African Club was at Richmond Beach QFC. The Student Leadership Center was at Aurora Safeway, and individual volunteers were at Central Market. All were collecting for the HopeLink food bank.

January 21, 2013 was the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday and for the fourth year, Shoreline Community College students volunteered to stand in front of local grocery stores and ask customers to donate to the food banks.
