It’s time for COAR’s annual Head Start Gift Box Drive! Each year we ask students, faculty and staff to fill boxes full of necessities and toys for children 3 to 5 years old in the Head Start programs in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania schools.<\/p>
Boxes can be checked out now through Nov. 22 in the University Center Lobby from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or in the Center for Community Engagement (Suite 320) during normal office hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We can also deliver boxes to you at your office and pick them up as needed. If you would like a box delivered or picked up, please email us at coarumw@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p> All gift boxes that are checked out will need to be returned by Tuesday, Nov. 26, at 5 p.m.<\/p> Required items for the boxes are hats, gloves, scarves, small toys, coloring books, crayons and markers, and small books (all of these items will need to fit inside a shoe box-sized box).<\/p> We appreciate your continued support of service at UMW. Thank you and happy holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s time for COAR’s annual Head Start Gift Box Drive!
