In response to the disaster relief needs in New York, Washington, D.C., and Somerset County, PA, a committee of students banded together to organize a series of collections from September 24 to 27 at the UMass Boston. Donation stations for non-perishable foods and money were set up at the McCormack and Wheatley Information Booths from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
The Office of Student Affairs also served as a drop-off spot for donations of money and non-perishables.
Monetary donations were contributed to the WB56 Disaster Relief Fund, which matched $0.50 for each dollar, and the food items were donated to the Salvation Army with the assistance of a local merchant and UMass alumni with connections to the College of Management.
