Donations for Latino Families

Tis the season when the spirit of giving is among us and we demonstrate our generosity to family and friends. Unfortunately, there are some who are living with limited resources and go without.

 

LGSA and LFASC ask that you join us to help collect for those facing financial challenges. During the week of December 6-10, 2010 we will be collecting donations to share with Latino families.

 

Example of items that we will be collected are:

• Gift cards from grocery and other stores such as Wal-Mart

• Non-perishable food items

• Toys for children under 12

• DVDs for children and youth

 

We hope that you can help with a contribution.

If you have questions, please contact us at 855-1740 or at lfasc@indiana.edu.
