JOY DRIVE 2015
Each year Childcare and Family Resources leads a Joy Drive to provide student families in need with gifts for the winter holiday season. The Research Office will be sponsoring a family again this year. In the past, we have asked people who are interested in participating to donate to a fund which will then be used to purchase gifts for the families. If you are interested in participating, please let Jillian Coleman know by November 19th. Participation involves making a donation in any amount you choose to help purchase presents. If you’d like to help shop, you can do that too. They are also accepting donations of wrapping paper, ribbons, tape, etc.
