The backseat of Stepfanie Armstrong’s car often looks like a donation center, where she keeps bulky clothing items, toiletries and light snacks.

Since 2016, the Butler woman has kept as many necessities as she can with her, so she can easily give them to people who need them around Butler. On April 9, she will get some relief from having to pick up donations herself, because she is teaming up with Butler Slippery Rock University Center for Community Engagement, Empowerment and Development (SUCCEED) for a collection drive for what she calls the Homeless Bag Project.

The drive will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. April 9 at 150 N. Main St., where Armstrong and the volunteers will accept necessities including clothing, light food items and cases of water.
