February Hofstra Cares Trip - Working Homes for the Homeless



On Friday, February 20th,  the members of the Phi Delta Theta Pre-Medical Fraternity joined the Office of Student Leadership and Activities to volunteer at Homes for the Homeless in Jamaica, NY.  





Homes for the Homeless Saratoga Family Inn is home to more than 100 families and offers services including housing, meals, internship opportunities, and daycare and after school programs.  Volunteers sorted through more than 800 pairs of jeans that were donated through the “Teens for Jeans” campaign.  Jeans were distributed to the families at the Saratoga Family Inn and were then distributed to other sites for Homes for the Homeless. 


Hofstra Cares trips are offered once a month.  The next trip will take place on Saturday, March 21st with the Long Island Parks and Recreation.  For more information e-mail OSLA@hofstra.edu.
