Brief: University offices host charitable events

For the next two weeks, students will be able to donate a variety of items through the Give It Up for Good Winter Donation Drive.

Near every semester's end, University Housing donates nonperishable food, clothes, household items, office supplies and appliances collected from students to local charities. This semester, donation boxes will be available in residence halls from Nov. 30 to Dec. 14.

Food donations will be given to Harvest Hope Food Bank, and the remaining items will be sold at the Give it Up for Good Winter Sale in January. The profits will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

Also this December, the university Division of Law Enforcement and Safety will host hosting its fifth annual Stuff a Police Car toy drive.

The event will take place on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Greene Street. Those who donate are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys to the police car parked outside Russell House. They will then be donated to Toys for Tots.

Toys will be accepted at the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety until Dec. 10.
