Beech Street Boutique Donation Sorting - Manchester, NH

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Project

Event details: Thursday, March 6, 2025 | 2-4 pm | 39 Beech Street Engagement Center (39 Beech Street, Manchester, NH 03103)

Learn more: 39 Beech Street Engagement Center operates as a centralized service hub open seven days a week for Manchester residents facing housing instability. They provide essentials like showers, bathrooms, meals, and clothing. Volunteers gathered to help sort and organize donations at the Beech Street Boutique, ensuring individuals in need have access to clothing and other essentials. Volunteer efforts directly contributed to removing barriers to housing and building a stronger, more supportive community.

Here's what project leader Mya Dowd had to say: "We had seven volunteers (three current students and four alumni). We were tasked with organizing the clothes by size and gender, then placing the clothes in bags to be sent to a laundry service. After two hours, we were able to finish 30 full bags! We also cleared out any broken hangers, racks, and any other trash in the boutique."
