HELP HAITI NOW - "Donation $ Collection"

With the recent Haiti earthquake disaster, hundreds of thousands are in dire need of help. Doctors and nurses lack medical supplies to help treat all those who are injured. Thousands of families don't even have sufficient supplies of water and food to survive. We are trying in every way to help... And you can too.

What: Donation $ Collection for Haiti
Who: Please give your donations to your Cohort Rep
When: Starting NOW

Donation money to help Haiti will be collected starting now. All of your donations will be sent to an organization that will go directly to helping all of those in need in Haiti.

Please, please give what you can. Everything counts.. even if it's just a little. So many are so helpless, and your contributions can and will make the biggest difference.

Help Haiti Now - "Soles4Souls" Shoe Drive

What: Collecting gently worn men's, women's, and kid's shoes.
When: Now until January 29, 2010

Please bring in your gently worn shoes for donation. There will be a large box in the SMACC building for you to drop your shoes off.

This drive is being held in partnership with SLL to support the Sport Chalet's Soles4Souls drive. All shoes collected from this drive will be sent directly to the people of Haiti.

Please bring and give what you can. Everything helps!
