Winter Donation Drive: Helping Students Stay Warm This Winter

This winter donation drive is to collect essential items for students at two local community colleges: Century College and Normandale Community College.

Many students at these colleges come from low-income families. Some work while attending school and raising children. The cold Minnesota winter makes life even more difficult for them. Through this donation drive, we hope to provide warmth and care, ease daily burdens, help them get through the winter, and support them in completing their education successfully.

Let’s take this opportunity to declutter our homes!

Look through your belongings and gather items you no longer need but that are still in good condition. Give these items a second life and help bring warmth to students who need it.

A few friendly reminders:

Please read the donation list carefully to make sure your items are accepted.
Please sort your donations before dropping them off (e.g., separate adult and children’s items, keep clothing separate from other items, etc).
A little sorting will reduce volunteers’ workload when organizing and distributing donations.

Every donation is an expression of care, and every contribution can make someone’s winter a little warmer.

Thank you for your generous support, and heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated volunteers!
