Active Faith is holding collection drives for two Columbia College groups. The Koala Closet, a food and supply pantry for students who are in financial need, and the First Year Teacher’s Closet in March and April.  The First Year Teacher’s Closet allows teachers to get gently used clothes and shoes to help them through the lean first years of teaching.
