Donating a perfect Christmas to a local family in need
You may have seen small donation
boxes popping up in the Oasis,
the Biz Booth and even the
Publications office. Next time you
see one, toss a little spare change in
there — you'll be helping the
Fanshawe Student Union provide a
perfect Christmas for a family in
need.
Since 2006, the FSU has collected spare change from students throughout November and December to buy gifts and food for families who otherwise may not have had a Christmas at all.
“We provide a perfect Christmas — presents for the kids and a meal for the family,” said Sara Roach, advertising coordinator for the FSU. She is helping to organize the Adopt-A-Family fundraiser this year. All the funds raised are used for a shopping spree, with a ton of toys, clothes, food and gift cards purchased for a local family.
You can also donate to the cause by attending hockey night at The Out Back Shack on December 5. Doors open at 7 p.m. and cover is $2, with all proceeds going to Adopt-A-Family. The event will feature giveaways, special deals on food and Molson products and a draw for Winter Classic tickets (open to full-time students only). The Out Back Shack will also be doing point of purchase donations from December 2 to 6 where patrons can add a dollar to their bill in support of the family.
