Help out Families in the Community

If you’re visiting around the holidays, donate some gifts to Angel Tree, an organization that provides families in need with gifts and goods for the holidays. If you are visiting at any other time during the winter and still want to help out, the FIRC (Family Intercultural Resource Center) is always accepting donations of toys and household items to help out families in our community.
