Students have been collecting donations of gently used business attire in exchange for up to two hours of general office services by student volunteers from the Algonquin College community. On March 31 at 11 a.m. they will take a full bus-load of donations to Dress for Success. Students, employees, and community members are invited to celebrate as the Thunder Bus leaves the College with the donations.
