Help COAR Bring Holiday Cheer to Local Preschoolers
UMW’s Community Outreach and Resources (COAR) is once again inviting the campus community to participate in its annual Gift Box Drive, providing gifts for preschool students ages 3 to 5 in Head Start programs in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania.
Each gift box should include a small toy, hat, gloves, toothbrush and toothpaste. COAR students will deliver the completed boxes to Head Start students during finals week.
How to participate:
Pick up a box: Stop by the Center for Community Engagement (CCE), Suite 320 in the Cedric Rucker University Center, or email coar@umw.edu to have an empty box delivered to your office. COAR students will also visit campus offices over the coming weeks.
Fill your box: Purchase the requested items and pack them in the provided gift box.
Return your box: Bring completed boxes to the CCE by Tuesday, Dec. 1, if possible. COAR students can also arrange to pick up completed boxes by request.
Thank you for helping spread holiday cheer to children in our local community!
