“74 million people have lost their jobs since the start of the pandemic, sending their kids to school warm shouldn’t be another worry added to their plates , says Mansa Musa founder Will Harvey”
On January 11th, 2022, the founder of The Mansa Musa Project announced their first annual coat drive in support of the Star of Hope and underserved communities within the Houston Independent School District. As the latest COVID variant impacts Houston, many families are left managing how they’re going to pay bills. Founder of The Mansa Musa Project, Will Harvey, feels that sending their kids to school warm should be one less worry on their plates. As a youth raised in the inner city, Will Harvey is all too familiar with the challenges many families encounter and wants to assist with making things a little easier.
Will Harvey, a product of the inner city with limited resources was raised in a single-parent home which contributed to his passion for “making something out of nothing.”
This is the first year that “The Mansa Musa Project” is conducting it’s annual coat drive. The organization plans to provide coats for more than 200 families within the Houston Independent School District and the Star of Hope. The drop-off location is Island 1515 located on 1515 Pease St. Houston, TX 77002, scheduled from 1 pm to 3 pm. The organization asks that you drop off new or lightly uses coats, hats, gloves, or socks to be distributed to the benefitting schools and charity.
