91����

We Serve U and the Interfraternity Council are working together to help children in the Dayton area.

There are two ways that 91���� students, faculty and staff can help this holiday season.

The first is to provide a new, unwrapped gift or toy for children under the age of 17. You can drop off your donation in a Toys for Tots bin located in numerous locations around the university. The Interfratenity Council placed bins at Student Activities Office (019 Student Union); Dunbar Library (first floor); 91���� Research Institute lobby; Women’s Center (148 Millett Hall); Veteran and Military Center (131 Allyn Hall); Athletics Office (Nutter Center); Institutional Research and Analytics (350 University Hall).

Donation bins will be in place until Dec. 6. After the bins are collected, Toys for Tots will distribute the toys as Christmas gifts to area children.

The second way to help is to adopt a child, children or family. You and/or your office, organization or family can choose to “adopt” a family for the holidays by providing gifts for them personally based on their modest wish list. Review the list of families.

“It’s in the mission statement to help the communities that we serve,” said Joanie Hendricks, the co-chair of We Serve U.

91���� has hosted annual toy drives for more than 20 years. This is the third year We Serve U has hosted the gift drive. Last year, more than 800 gifts were donated.
