The Professional Staff Senate (PSS) Clothing Drive has occurred annually since 2011, alternating between winter and summer to allow for a variety of clothing donations to occur. This project has been spearheaded by the Professional Staff Senate with the Chairs and Vice Chairs taking the lead on the effort, but also relying heavily on all professional staff throughout the university to assist in donating, collecting, organizing and finally distributing clothing to those in need in the Buffalo community. Director of Community Relations Linwood Roberts Jr. also contributes significant assistance to this project each year.
