SUNY Oswego’s Leadership Oswego County Class of 2011 has hit the ground running when it comes to giving back to the community. At their third official meeting, LOC class members arranged to put together a donation to Youth and Family Services of Oswego County Opportunities Inc.

Contributions included winter clothing items for men, women, teens, children and babies, and Novelis also donated several new items through a participating class member. Members of the 2011 LOC class also made monetary donations toward Youth and Family Services’ annual Holiday Drive, which provides gifts to children who would not otherwise receive presents.

“It’s amazing how motivated this group is to make a difference in Oswego County. We’ve only met a few times, but we’ve already bonded and our group dynamic is quite electric — it is truly inspiring,” said Janelle Hutchinson, a member of the class.
