DO GOOD FOR OTHERS

Next week is SPRING BREAK! Do you know what that means? It's time to clean out your closets! Gather clothes and household items and bring them on campus beginning March 14th and donate your items to Goodwill! When you donate on campus to Goodwill they will provide vouchers for students to purchase items at Goodwill stores! For more information, contact the Hall Career Center at 540-857-7298 for more information.

But, before you leave for spring break, bring in cans of soup to support SOUP FOR SENIORS. The League of Older Americans collects cans of soup for our local senior citizens. They need our help! Our goal is 2,000 cans and we aren't even close. Help us today and bring in cans of soup!
