The mother and daughter team, founders of the nonprofit Freshman Fifteen, will be packing up campus essentials for about 80 New York City students who will begin college this fall.
The boxes arrive on campus when the students arrive for orientation and contain the essentials: bedding, a lamp, towels, a shower caddy, flip-flops, clock, storage containers and a designer backpack, among other things.

The family's foundation now provides about $10,000 annually to the Freshman Fifteen to cover the organization's administrative costs and to buy supplies for jewelry the women make and sell at shows to support the organization. A recent show raised about $5,000.
A new Boston-based partner will provide packages for another 20 students, bringing the total helped this year to 100, the most for the organization.
