The Danville Community College Nursing Club recently organized a successful collection drive to support the House of Hope homeless shelter. The Nursing Club collected much-needed supplies and donations to assist the shelter in its mission to provide essential resources and support to the local homeless population.

In an inspiring display of community outreach, the Nursing Club rallied its members to contribute to this meaningful cause. Led by Sarah Smith, Nursing Club President, the effort garnered an overwhelming response.

“Throughout our clinical experiences in the community, we’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by the homeless population, including the lack of essential resources,” said Smith. “As future healthcare professionals, it’s our duty to support and uplift those in need. We are deeply thankful for the House of Hope and the vital role they play in our community. We’re honored to contribute to their mission and to assist those less fortunate in the broader community.”

The House of Hope homeless shelter, a beacon of hope in the Danville area, provides a safe haven and resources for individuals facing homelessness. The support from the Danville Community College Nursing Club will go a long way in helping the House of Hope continue their crucial work.

“House of Hope relies heavily on our community of friends to make the shelter possible,” said Jude Swanson, Executive Director of House of Hope. “We are incredibly grateful for DCC’s Nursing Club donation and the positive impact it will have on the lives of our guests.”

The collection drive, which took place over a two-week period, received a wide range of donations, including non-perishable food items, dry goods, personal hygiene products, and paper products. The outpouring of support underscores the commitment of the Nursing Club to promote well-being and compassion in the local community.

The Danville Community College Nursing Club wishes to extend its gratitude to all those who contributed to this initiative. Their generosity and dedication have made a significant impact on the lives of those experiencing homelessness in the Danville region.
