Aren’t new PJs just wonderful during the holidays? We think so, and we’re working with United Way, during their annual Pajama Drive, to provide over 1,600 local children and families in crisis with a new pair of jammies. It seems like such a small thing, but sometimes the comfort of a small gift can make a big difference.
Now through Monday, Nov. 30, you can drop off your donation at the food bank in Roberts 109. Or, mail your donation to campus box 6148.
If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu).
