We wanted to thank the UMW community for helping fill over 300 gift boxes this year! All boxes are delivered to the local Head Start programs in Fredericksburg City and Spotsylvania County. This process couldn’t happen without you, our wonderful community members. Each box is checked out by a UMW student, faculty or staff member, and filled with toys, hats, books and more. COAR students then package the boxes for pick up (this year Ms. Walker and her family picked up the boxes) and then visit the local Head Start/Preschool Programs to hand out the boxes (we may have sung Jingle Bells a few times). Thank you to everyone who supported this community project!

If you still have not returned your box, please be sure to stop by the CCE (UC, Suite 320) and drop them off before the end of the week! We will be delivering the boxes to children apart of the Head Start program next Monday! 🎁

Boxes from students are due NEXT Tuesday, November 25th! Please drop them off before 5PM, and ensure that all required items fit inside the box (with the lid fully closed)!

Thank you to everyone—students and staff/faculty—who helped our project by checking out a box! You are directly impacting low-income families in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania county by providing their children with essentials and toys for the holiday season. ❤️🎄
