Cape Cod Community College

(11/16/2006)

Cape Cod Community College student, faculty, and staff volunteers collected funds throughout the day on Sept. 12th through the 15th, as cars passed by their ‘toll booth’ on the road that surrounds the West Barnstable campus. Over the four days, they collected a grand total of $6016 that will be distributed to AmeriCares, the American Red Cross, the ASPCA and the local Housing Assistance Corporation. In addition to that money collected, two clubs have pledged donations of $500 each, bringing the college contribution to Hurricane Relief to a whopping seven thousand dollars. Also, the College’s Zammer Hospitality Institute students baked ‘thank you’ cookies that will be offered to donors as they travel the ring road. This effort was coordinated through the Service Learning Office at the College.

I have seen that this work is bringing hope to one generation, which in turn will help future generations."
