Harlem Friendship House Receives Undergraduate Aid
Harlem Friendship House in New York receives a $100 gift from the Undergraduate Association to cover rent this month. The New York House, part of a national network started by Baroness Catherine de Hueck, runs a library, playrooms, clothing and food services, summer camp, and study groups with a staff of twelve and about forty volunteers. The center serves a racially integrated community and faces tenant rights challenges amid planned housing project demolitions and poor living conditions in nearby apartments. Donations of money, food, or clothing are coordinated by Miss Peggy Bevins.
