CCE Mission Statement
National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week
NEEDED: Feminine Hygiene Products
Did you know that there are women and girls in our area who miss work and school because they don't have access to feminine hygiene products? For those in need, SNAP benefits do not cover personal hygiene products, so there are women and girls in our area who rely on Parish House donations yet these items are rarely in stock. The WE LEAD Women and Youth Empowerment team is asking for donations of feminine hygiene products (pads, tampons, soft cups, etc.) to help fill this community need until November 7th. You can bring your donations to the Center for Community Engagement & Leadership Development (behind the campus retail store on the second floor of the campus center).
THANKSGIVING BASKET COLLECTION FOR THE PARISH HOUSE
If you would like to put together a basket or contribute items toward the collection, the following items are needed by NOVEMBER 11th:
- Canned green beans
- Canned corn
- Canned sweet potatoes
- Canned gravy or gravy packets
- Canned broth
- Boxes of stuffing mix
- Canned fruit
- Pie filling, especially pumpkin and apple
- Boxes of cake mixes and cans of frosting
Items and baskets will be collected at the Wesley Chapel office, the Administration building, the Welcome Center, the library, Haymond Hall (3rd floor in the Learning Center), and the Center for Community Engagement & Leadership Development (behind the campus retail store). Thank you in advance for your help!
