Hello everyone!

This Friday (December 3rd), our Project CHANGE meeting will also double as a “Service & Donation Day”. Along with all of the fun service craft activities that we will be doing, we will also be collecting items for various donation drives at some of our members’ sites. If you can, please bring at least one of the following items:

Toys (new) and/or children’s books (new or gently used) – Montgomery College Rockville (City of Rockville)

Canned food – YMCA

Coats/ warm clothes (new or gently used) – Montgomery College Takoma/Silver Spring Refugee Center

Paul will graciously reward each donation with 1 extra hour of service!!!

If you have any questions, please contact Jemi, Dre, Sarah, Katherine, Lucy, or Lauren.

See you on Friday 🙂

‘Tis the Season

Hi Everyone!

This and next month at Montgomery College- Germantown, our Student Senate and a number of clubs are planning to give back to the community in a variety of ways… and would love your help!

Operation Warm-Up
November 15th-19th
The Student Senate is holding a coat and warm clothing drive for the children who benefit from the Linkages to Learning programs through MCPS. These families are in difficult situations, and providing necessary warm clothing often comes second to food and shelter.  New or gently used coats are most desired, but hats, gloves, scarves, etc. will all be accepted.

Basket’s Of Hope
Through December 3rd
The Women’s Studies Club will be holding a holiday care package drive to benefit the women of the Betty Ann Krahnke Center- Montgomery County’s only domestic violence shelter for women. They are collecting items such as toiletries, magazines, accessories, seasonal cards, candy, etc. and hope to fill 50 baskets.

“Can-Struction” Canned Food Drive
Through December 16th
The engineering club is building a “Can-Struction” (Google it! It’s really cool!). They will be collecting donated canned foods in order to build their structure, which they will use to advertise for their much larger canned food drive on campus starting on December 6th. You can donate now to contribute to building the structure or later in December to go directly to the drive. All donated food will benefit Manna Food Center and Germantown Help.

If you would like to help with any or all of these efforts please bring items to our Project CHANGE meetings or contact me and we can arrange a pick-up/drop-off.

A Great Opportunity for Your Org to Earn $4,000

Hi everyone,

I found this website that is giving non-profits the opportunity to earn $4,000. Seeing how Project CHANGE is made of non-profits, I thought this might be useful. The link is: http://whatgoodwill4000do.org/. Check it out! The application process doesn’t look too complicated.

Winter coat drive!

Hi everyone!

I’m the staff adviser for the student service club here at the Montgomery College Takoma Park campus, and they’ve just started running a winter coat drive for the Refugee Center on our campus. Many of the clients at the Refugee Center come from warm climates and cannot afford to buy a new coat to survive our cold Maryland winters.

So, if any of you have an extra coat lying around, we’d really appreciate the donation! We’re taking new and used coats for men, women and children between now and December 9th. If you’re going to the CPR training next Friday, just bring your coat to the meeting, and I’ll make sure it gets to the right place. Thanks for your help!
