The students of TRiO Student Support Services program at Lone Star College-North Harris display their love of giving this Valentine’s Day by donating blankets to disadvantaged families to keep them warm during the winter months. The “Covered by TRiO” blanket drive brought in more than 30 blankets that were delivered to the Star of Hope shelter in downtown Houston.

TRiO Student Support Services provides opportunities for academic development, assists students with basic college requirements, and motivates students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary education.
