Social Work Club Playing Host to Dignity Drive through November 15
October 29, 2025
The Northwestern Oklahoma State University Social Workers Association of Tomorrow (SWAT) club is playing host to its annual “Compassion in Action Dignity Drive” to collect essential household and hygiene items through Nov. 15.
Donations of hygiene items, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, diapers and wipes may be dropped off at all Northwestern campus locations.
This year’s donations will benefit Youth and Family Services – Family Court in Enid. The Family Treatment Court is dedicated to promoting the safety and well-being of children while supporting caregivers in achieving timely reunification. Items collected will be distributed to families currently enrolled in the program.
“Participating in the Dignity Drive is a simple way to make a real difference,” said Isabella Burden, SWAT president. “It’s inspiring to see our campus and community come together to support others and promote dignity and hope.”
