Good morning and good news!
Contributions from the weekend totaled 237 items!
This is not a huge surprise knowing the generosity of so many on our campus, but very heartwarming nonetheless. Please take a look at the latest tally sheet. It looks great, but also shows what work remains to reach our goal of 1,200 items by Thursday, Dec. 13!
The plan is to collect much-needed personal care items and new clothing – especially cold-weather gear – for the Joseph’s House & Shelter guests, both men and women. I am encouraging all employees to work as a team to make this goal a reality, although individual donations also are welcome!
Here’s how you and/or your department/office mates can help meet our goal:
