ATHENS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Concord University has announced that, through its Upward Bound program, a clothing closet is currently being developed to provide assistance for students.
The clothing closet initiative reportedly seeks to offer a broad array of clothing options for daily educational necessities as well as academic enrichment trips.
