ACC’s Student Advocacy Center (SAC) collected $2,368 and 30 pieces of luggage throughout May for the 2024 Foster Care Luggage Drive.
All funds and donated items go directly to youth currently in foster care to provide them with a dignified way to carry their belongings when they leave their foster residences. This year, approximately 60 foster youth from the Austin area are expected to graduate.
The Student Advocacy Center would like to thank all faculty and staff who participated in this year’s Foster Care Luggage Drive. The center received luggage from nearly all campuses, as well as monetary donations from nearly 50 ACC staff members.
The donations were delivered to the Department of Family & Protective Services in June.
