Description: The purpose of this program was to
collect the extra school supplies that residents had so
that they could be donated to a downtown tutoring
center. We collected the items before Winter
break.
Instructions_Things_Needed: Advertise the program
well in advance. Ask other RAs to remind their
residents. We collected door-to-door, and had a table
for donations set up in the
cafeteria. Make sure that you have Residents to
help collect the items. Also, keep a tally of what you
collect as you go along because otherwise things will
get complicated.
Other Considerations: I wouldn't really waste
time collecting items in the cafeteria again.
Door-to-door collections were very helpful. Be
sure to accept anything that residents offer, every
pencil or pen helps.
