PHILADELPHIA – Community College of Philadelphia will host its Adopt-A-School Holiday Food and Clothing Drive to support five families from Spring Garden School and five families from the Laura W. Waring School. Media is invited to speak with the organizers of the drive as volunteers pack donations at 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9 in the Bonnell Building Lobby, 1700 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123. The main entrance to the Bonnell Building is on 17th Street between Spring Garden and Callowhill Streets.
