Now that it's getting close to the holiday season, we need to make a special effort to be aware of those less fortunate.  CSA is taking part in Adopt-A-Family, and we need your help to provide a great Christmas for a grandmother and her 3 grandchildren!  Please consider donating a few dollars to the cause or buying some presents for them while you're out doing your own Christmas shopping!  Here is some helpful information: Katrina: age 16 and Danyelle: age 10-Both girls would like PJs size 14/16, bath stuff (lotion, body wash, etc.), hair stuff, target gift cards.  Jacob: age 8-Likes Legos and other building toys as well as matchbox cars.  I would also suggest games for any of the three children!  The Grandmother Katherine also likes bath stuff, and we will be providing the family with a Kroger Gift Card for food.  Please bring unwrapped, newly bought gifts or monetary donations to any CSA event or meeting by Wednesday, December 3.  Also, please email Danielle at Danielle.roberts@utoledo.edu with any questions or if you plan on buying a specific gift!  Thank you for your generosity!

Advent Giving Tree

It's that wonderful time of the year again!!!  Stop by the Gathering Space and pick up ornaments that have items listed on them of items local shelters need, especially around Christmas time.  After picking up your ornament please bring the unwrapped item with the ornament attached to the DeBenedetti Room no later that Sunday, December 21st.  The six organizations we are collecting items for are:  Family House, LaPosada Homeless Shelter, Open Door, Madonna Homes, Central City Ministry of Toledo, and the Diocesan Office of Hispanic Ministries.  We will be delivering these items in the afternoon on December 22nd.  If anyone is willing to help deliver these items please let me know because many students will be home by this date due to Winter Break.  So, if you interested in helping deliver items or have any other questions please contact Sam Rose at samantha.rose@utoledo.edu
