The Turkey Costume Canned Food Drive Contest

Mon, 11/21/2016

As part of the Thanksgiving celebrations at CW, the Caribbean Student Association and the Student Government Association delivered the collected canned food items to Open Arms, a White Plains shelter for the homeless. During the contest, the professor with the least amount of canned food in their box agreed to wear a turkey costume at the ThankSharing Luncheon celebrated today. That was Prof. Schacht! Food donations included Staff, Faculty, and Students, including Prof. Newhook’s Event Planning & Promotion class.

The Open Arms Program is a 38 bed shelter for single homeless men which began operating in 1989. It has established itself as a model program. The program provides a full range of services for residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Along with caring and effective staff workers, Open Arms offers a number of on-site services.
