Share the Warmth Bazaar (Hawk CARES Center)

Help us keep our CRC community warm! The Hawk CARES Center is hosting its annual Coat Drive to collect new and gently used coats, jackets, sweaters, and other warm clothing for CRC students in need.

As the colder months approach, access to warm clothing can make a meaningful difference for students balancing school, work, and family responsibilities. Through this initiative, we hope to provide students with additional support by making warm clothing available to them at no cost.

We welcome donations from faculty, staff, students, and community members. All donated items should be clean and in good condition.
