This holiday season, members of the Dugoni School family are conducting several donation drives to gather items for underserved people across the Bay Area and beyond.

The school’s Employee Volunteer Opportunities Committee (EVOC) is working to give faculty, staff and students the opportunity to support numerous organizations. They include:

• One Warm Coat
  Coats, jackets, vests, scarves, hats and gloves will benefit St. Anthony’s Foundation in San Francisco. This donation drive runs from Monday, Dec. 2 to Wednesday, Dec. 18. The donation drop-off is on the first floor underneath the internal staircase.
   
• Children’s Book Project
  Holiday Book Drive will benefit the Children’s Book Project (CBP). CBP has given away over 2.7 million children’s books to San Francisco Bay Area children, shelters, schools, daycares, community centers, and beyond. New or gently-used children’s books for ages 3-11 (English, Mandarin/Cantonese, Spanish and/or other languages) are all welcomed. The donation drive runs from Monday, Dec. 2 to Thursday, Dec. 19. Just drop off your books to the CBP book cart on the first floor near the internal staircase.
