Local teen single-handedly
takes on charity project 1

Local teen Garry Zink
believes in giving all year long,
not just at Christmastime.
He single-handedly pio
neered the coat and sock drive
on campus this term.
For the drive, people are
asked to donate new or used
clean coats and socks. All of
the clothing donated will aid the
Portland Rescue Mission. There
are several boxes in many of the
buildings on campus, including
Niemeyer, Roger Rook and the
Community Center.
Zink was inspired by an
article in The Oregonian. The
headline read, “Needy suffer
as season of giving ends.” He
called the college and spoke to a
man who told him the donation
season slows down just after
Christmas.
“It’s like a siphon,” Zink
said.
Zink posted flyers around his
neighborhood encouraging com
munity members to leave bags
of donations on their doorsteps
for him to pick up at a later date.
When he collected the bags, he
found 10 knitted hats and a pair
of brand new gloves, as well
as 200 coats and 250 pairs of
socks.
His first donation of clothing
weighed 1,200 pounds.
Though the boxes are always
empty and it seems no one is
donating, people are. Zink emp
ties boxes regularly.
The first box Zink dropped
off m Streeter Hall on a Friday
afternoon. By the following
Monday, the box was full of
donated items, including 25
coats. So far, Zink had 350 coats
and 400 pairs of socks - but his
goal is 500 coats and 1,000 pairs
of socks.
He organized the drive
by himself. The boxes used
are refrigerator boxes from
Hamilton Appliances covered
with white paper decorated by
hand.
Zink’s project is for his Boy
Scouts of America troop. After
a scout earns 21 merit badges
- which is not an easy feat,
according to Zink - he has to
complete a 100-hour service
project.
“I’m going on three months,
and I only have 70 [hours],” he
laughed.
Zink was home-schooled by
his mother prior to the start
of last term. He’s taking basic
courses: math, writing, and the
like. He plans on taking begin
ning basketball next term.
“I love basketball,” he said
with a smile.
