Westminster College's chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a national, coed service fraternity, is holding a "Quad-a-Thon" in an effort to raise awareness of homelessness Friday, Sept. 28.
At 8 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel Sister Claire Marie from the Prince of Peace shelter in Farrell will speak on homelessness and the shelter's efforts to aid the area's homeless.
Following the presentation, members of the Alpha Phi Omega will take cardboard boxes to Westminster College Quad, where they will sleep from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sept. 19. For each person who sleeps in the Quad, Alpha Phi Omega will donate $2 to the Prince of Peace. A collection will also take place across campus Sept. 19-21.
For more information, contact Christian M. Reifsteck, president of Alpha Phi Omega and a senior English major from Altoona, at (724) 946-6760.
