Holiday Food Drive

PLC Students

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. SSC Professor of History Marta Osby, who serves as the instructor for the course, said, “This is such an important project because it provides food to families in need during the holidays and beyond.  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.”
