OTA students in the Student Occupational Therapy Assistant (SOTA) Club at Kent State East Liverpool celebrated “April is OT Month” with a community project to serve the House of Grace, a ministry of Grace City Church in East Liverpool.

On April 21, first-year OTA students spent the day providing assistance to visitors in the clothing and food pantry; preparing and serving lunch; and spending time with those who were seeking help.

During the month of April, the students led a campus donation drive to collect much-needed items for the facility and, in the end, delivered 21 pairs of jeans, 12 packages of undergarments and several cases of toilet tissue to the House of Grace for distribution.
