Trinity College Office of Community Service and Civic Engagement

Thanks so much Mary-Jane Foster, President and CEO of Interval House CT for coming by The Coop: Trinity College Thrift Shop today! The Coop collects, cleans, and resells items left behind by students at the end of the year and then donates the proceeds to community groups. Mandi Harewood ‘24, student manager of The Coop, and Joe Barber, Director of the Office of Community Service and Civic Engagement, were excited to present a $2,000 check to Interval House today.

Write for Rights is a great opportunity to advocate for human rights. People can drop into Peters Bs at any point on Thursday, December 9 between 7-8:30 pm and write a letter to various government officials asking them to address human rights violations in their countries. It doesn’t take more than 20 minutes and participants can get a free coffee while supplies last. Thanks for your help!
