Sixteen hours of collecting, one rainy unload: a truckload of kindness for homeless students

On October 3, the group Rock Out Knock Out Homelessness spent 16 hours collecting donations outside a Walmart in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Then a truck packed with shampoo, toilet paper, detergent and other essentials rolled up to Treasure House — the Spotsylvania school system's support hub for homeless students, next to Massaponax High School — where social workers and student volunteers unloaded it in the rain and started sorting.
