Students have the opportunity to show their holiday spirit by participating in one of GW's many charitable initiatives this season...
Adopt-A-Family: An annual tradition at GW is to provide families in need with gifts of clothing, household necessities, and toys. Families are identified by the Community Partners, including Academy of Hope, CentroNia and the Transitional Housing Corporation. Sign up online by December 3rd. In addition, you can help the Office of Community Service pick-up and drop-off gifts on Monday, December 6th or Tuesday, December 7th.
Clothing Drive: From now until December 15th, GW is collecting clothing to distribute to families and local charities such as Bread for the City, Miriam's Kitchen, Central Mission, and Nation's Capital Young Marines. You can drop off your gently used clothing at the Academic Center, Rice Hall, Monroe Hall, the Marvin Center, Duques, Ivory Tower, Thurston or Amsterdam Hall.
Toys-for-Tots: GW's Naval Reserve officers are currently holding their annual Toys-for-Tots drive. Midshipmen are collecting donations at the GWU/Foggy Bottom Metro Station until December 3rd.
Blood Drive: On December 9th, there will be an American Red Cross blood drive in the Marvin Center's Continental Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
