NYCPM Gives!
Members of two student clubs enlisted their fellow students to help others at the end of 2021. The Student National Podiatric Medical Association (SNPMA) held a Sock & Shoe Drive at the college; collected items were donated to Street Health Outreach & Wellness Mobile Units, which are a part of NYCHH. From the mobile units, the apparel was distributed to community members in Harlem and the South Bronx (see photo).
Starting in October, the American Association for Women Podiatrists (AAWP) Club organized a women's health drive for the local community shelter, Women In Need (WIN). The club collected over 130 items for the shelter, with an estimated value of $500, by the end of the year. Over five boxes holding a very wide range of personal care, apparel, household, and baby care items and apparel were donated to the Manhattan WIN shelter in December.
Thanks to NYCPM’s community of generous students, faculty and staff, for donating to both drives.
