In observance of Homelessness Awareness Month, Fisher College has announced that its Student Government Association (SGA) and Common Good Club have partnered with The Rotary Club of Boston #7 to sponsor an event to raise awareness of Boston’s homeless and to discuss the issue the city is now facing with the Long Island bridge closure and the future of the Long Island Homeless Shelter.
The SGA and the Common Good Clubs will also be collecting donations of new and gently worn winter clothing that will be donated to the various participating organizations.
