Sports Information, Campbellsville University

LWC Bonner students raise coats for Head Start students

By Venus Popplewell

A group of Lindsey Wilson College students helped ensure that area children will keep warm this winter. LWC students in the college's Bonner Program delivered 57 winter coats Wednesday morning to Adair County Head Start. The coats were given to the program's 52 students, and extra coats were saved in preparation for next year's drive.

LWC Bonner students raised coats and over $1300 to purchase the coats from members of the LWC community as well as Columbia-Adair County residents.

This year's drive -- which is in its sixth year -- was led by LWC Bonner student Olivia Garlt of Louisville, Ky., who said it felt good to give back to her 'home away from home' here in Columbia-Adair County.
