Hundreds of coats were distributed to Haitian families at
the Voice of the Gospel Church in Mattapan as part of a coat drive organized by
Connell School faculty member Jennifer Allen and Master's Entry students Ashley
Younger, Dana Mars, and Maki Ishida. Over a period of two days, all the coats
found owners as families in the community heard about the event on the radio or
through word of month. Thanks to the Boston College students, faculty, and
staff, as well as staff at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who donated coats,
many people in this underserved community can stay warmer as winter approaches.
