Warmth from the Millyard: Clothing Drive and UNH Academic Program

As the weather gets colder, social service agencies across the state have found a growing need for warm clothing among the people they serve.

The state's Food Bank distributes donated food to shelters and soup kitchens across the state.

But there's no such central repository for donated clothing.

Students at UNH in Manchester are trying to solve that problem...and get college credit at the same time.

For the third year in a row, they've organized the Warmth from the Millyard clothing drive.

Associate Professor Kate Hanson teaches the UNH Community Leadership Program.

She describes the students' efforts to NHPR's Mark Bevis.
