Students knit for the war relief efforts

In collaboration with a nation-wide relief effort, Rosemont students created the War Relief Society on campus to “send tokens of cheer abroad.” Society members created “care packages” to send to the British Relief Effort and raised money through various activities. Society members started a sweater competition for US soldiers, giving a prize to the student who made the most sweaters. The Society also sent food, clothing, and money to the family of Marta Wankowicz ’42 who were imprisoned in a German ghetto.
