Hello Alpha community! This December, from the 1st to the 12th, Leadership will be collecting essential items for the Union Gospel Mission, especially those who are turned away from full shelters and need necessities on the cold streets of our city. These much-needed items will go to those in need throughout the holiday season. For students and staff, donation boxes will be placed in the cafeteria, student services, and the office. Some important items include:
shampoo & conditioner, soap, toothbrush & toothpaste and socks & underwear (all genders all sizes). Reminder that these items are NEW and not USED. Thanks Alpha!
