A Small Donation Big Impact Collection Day Success Report!!
What beautiful and generous hearts our Buckeyes have!
On Monday, October 24th, your generosity was overwhelmingly expressed again in our second collection day for the Veterans ERG and Military Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) collection drive! You brought us dental care, coats, hats, scarves, gloves and many more items!
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words… well this picture is worth 6,766 THANK YOUs!
Congratulations on a job well done!
We still need you! We have two more requested item windows to finish out the year. Up next for items requested are:
- 11-1 to 11-21 Non-perishable foods
- 12-1 to 12-16 Socks (pairs)
If you would like to continue to provide more of the items from previous drives, we welcome all items. The previous collection drives contained these items:
- Multi-vitamins, Vitamin C Immune Support (suggestion from MVRC) small bottles preferred
- Mouth Care Kits (brush, paste, floss, mouthwash)
- Donated Coats
- New Hats/Gloves/ Scarves
We are hoping the next collection will push us over the top of our goal! We are excited to see how much you skyrocket past it!
It is never too late to contribute personally nor to start an office drive. If you are interested in volunteering or starting an office drive, please contact our drive lead, Ashley Tainer-harp, ashley.tainer-harp@osumc.edu.
