The Holiday GIFT DRIVE is ON! Stop by the Women's Center, 112 Eielson Building, UAF, now through December 20th with unwrapped gifts to help us fill this humongous box with donations for the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living. * Bring gifts that are new or very lightly used. Toys, hygiene items, household items, diapers, electronics, anything really (these are families who had to leave their homes, sometimes with only the clothes on their backs, so anything is helpful!) Gift cards are also greatly appreciated! * All gifts need to be UNwrapped. (IAC needs to see the items so that the gifts can go to those who most need them.) Help us, and the fine student organizations sponsoring this gift drive fill this box to overflowing!
