St. Clair helps Goodfellows

St. Clair College’s Student Representative Council has been selling newspapers to raise money for Windsor Goodfellows annual newspaper drive.

SRC occupied two street corners Nov. 22 and 23 collecting change in exchange for a special edition of The Windsor Star. All proceeds help support the Goodfellows Christmas drive for local families.

Board members, directors and volunteers stood outside the college’s South Campus and the new TD Student Success Centre downtown collecting donations.

SRC president Keri Bagley said after one day of selling newspapers she believes they have raised over $1,000 for Goodfellows.

“The Student Representative Council at St. Clair takes pride in our city and we constantly strive to have a positive impact within our community. We are eager to take on initiatives such as this because it allows us to give back to the community and allows us to represent students in a positive manner. We are also hoping to raise awareness for the local charity and the importance of this initiative,” Bagley said.

The SRC did not set a monetary goal but said they believe the second location will help them raise more funds for the cause.
