Seminole State College’s Leadership Development Class collected non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army before the holidays. All donated items were recently delivered to the Salvation Army and will be distributed throughout Seminole County for the Thanksgiving season.

It is a great opportunity for our students specifically, because it allows them to see how these vital contributions can impact the lives of those most in need.”
