TEMPLE HILLS, M.D., March 12, 2021 - Prince George's County Public School's Crossland High School Dance Company, students, staff, and Wanda's Hope Klozet organization hosted a "Pull-up and Pop The Trunk Coat Giveaway" on Saturday, March 6, 2021, at Crossland High School in Temple Hills, Maryland. Wanda's Hope Klozet members and several generous community partners assisted with resources and support for this successful community service event. More than 500 NEW coats were donated and given away to local families as they drove through the school parking lot. The community is still significantly impacted by the school and government closures related to COVID-19 and Wanda's Hope Klozet and partners were able to serve the community through this coat giveaway. Principal Michael Gilchrist, Wanda J. Knotts, students, fraternity members, and Crossland staff and alumni helped children and families on Saturday. Please share some of the highlights from the event below with family and friends!

Bowie State University students, Crossland High School alumni, former Crossland High School employees, the Gamma Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, and the Bowie/Mitchellville Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi all came together with coats and smiles to safely support and serve the community during this pandemic.

“It is truly a pleasure to give back to my alma mater and this community,” says Ikey Staton, Crossland Alumni and member of the Gamma Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.

“I have a strong desire to connect communities to proper resources to restore Hope so families can thrive. This is why these events are so important to me”, says Wanda J. Knotts.
