Dear Penn Community,

Your generosity during the holiday season has made a huge difference in the lives of many members of our community. We look forward to working with you again this year as we strive to make a difference in the lives of our many deserving neighbors.

—Isabel Mapp, Associate Director, Netter Center for Community Partnerships

Holiday Food Drive: Now through November 16

Let's take a bite out of hunger! In the season of Thanks and Giving, please contribute to the Annual Food Drive at the University coordinated by Penn VIPS. We are collecting non-perishable foods (cans and boxed foods) as well as turkeys. Donations will re-stock the pantry at Carroll Park Community Council as well as help many deserving families in the area.

Coat Drive November 21 through December 8

Does your gently used winter coat still have some serviceable miles on it? Warm coats in good condition, for both children and adults, are needed by a number of charitable organizations in the Philadelphia area. The Linguistics Department is working with the Penn Volunteers in Public Service, Center for Community Partnerships office in organizing a Winter Coat Drive. If you have a coat (or coats) to contribute to our drive, you are welcome to donate them at any of the locations listed below.
