UMW is collecting items for Empowerhouse’s new shelter in Fredericksburg. The shelter supports survivors of domestic violence.
Empowerhouse Donation Collection will take place between 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Campus Walk in front of Lee Hall (rain location UC) on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Please drop off a NEW item during the tabling or at the “Boil the Frog Slowly” play on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in the HCC Digital Auditorium. See below for a full list of NEW supplies needed for the shelter.
If you cannot make the tabling time frame and would still like to make a donation, contact Marissa Miller at 540-654-1193 or mmille23@umw.edu. Marissa Miller can arrange for a pick-up on campus (Faculty/Staff) or drop-off (Students/Faculty/Staff).
