Program Models Providing shelter for the homeless on campus
March 23, 2015
Every Saturday night last winter, students at Davidson College in North Carolina transformed an unused wrestling room on campus into a shelter for the homeless. College laundry facilities donated their services and the campus food services prepared meals for five homeless guests. Student volunteers coordinated the project and spent the evenings with their guests, talking, playing ping pong, and sharing sleeping quarters in the wrestling room.
