Wentworth SAAC Collects Items for Military Troops

BOSTON, Mass. – For the fifth consecutive year, members of the Wentworth Institute of Technology Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) have collected items to be sent to the men and women of the United States military who are stationed overseas.

Approximately 200 pounds of items were collected from students, faculty, and staff by way of a collection area inside the Athletic Office during the month of November. Additionally, on Sunday, November 13, members of SAAC went through Wentworth’s residence halls to collect items from students. The committee collected an assortment of items this year, such as gum, beef jerky, Pringles, PopTarts, deodorant, hand lotion, and hand sanitizer.

Items collected were brought to a local distribution center and will be sent to members of the military who are stationed in Afghanistan.
