Good Morning Goodman continues with co-hosts Susan LeBlanc and Najlaa Rauf announcing this week’s 5 Days for the Homeless campaign which sees Brock students spending five days and nights outside to help raise awareness of homelessness and to support Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold.
The campaign, organized by the Goodman Business Students’ Association, is accepting cash and non-perishable food donations on campus from March 7-11 and online donations at 5days.ca/brock through the month of March.
Business student Heather Bernie is participating in the campaign for the second year in a row and is documenting her experience on the GoodmanSpirit Instagram account this week through an Instagram Takeover. Participating students give up the use of social media throughout the week, with the exception of helping to promote 5 Days for the Homeless.
