Make an Impact
It’s mid-winter which means the weather is cold and wet in Georgia. Although this service project is mostly seen at the beginning of colder seasons, chapters can still use it make an impact in their community.
Holding a coat drive or clothing drive to collect warm clothes and jackets for those who cannot afford such necessities is an awesome way for members, chapters, the school, and the community to get involved in helping such families. Your chapter may ask for permission to set up donation boxes around the school to collect the new or gently used wardrobe items.
Be Creative
Another fun way to get your coat drive recognized by students is to hold a game during lunch. Ask for a school announcement the day before for students and faculty to bring coats and have two members participate during lunch. Make sure they are okay with looking a bit goofy around the school. They would be competing for the most amount of layers they could collect from the people in the cafeteria. It’s entertaining to watch them struggle as they accumulate more and more layers on their bodies. It also makes people more aware of your cause and be reminded to bring a coat or jacket the next day to donate.
