Please join us in the Annual  Penn Volunteers In Public Service Holiday Drive. As you buy toys and presents for the holiday season, please consider spreading some cheer to deserving members of our community.  All toys and gifts donated will support the efforts of organizations including the Annual Holiday Party sponsored by Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, People’s Emergency Shelter, local schools, Potter’s Mission, Bridges to the Community, Intercultural Family Services and many more.

All items for the holiday drive must be new, not used, and unwrapped. Below are convenient locations for you to drop off your donations:

Penn Volunteers in Public Service “Adopt a Family for the Holidays” Program

Several departments have adopted a deserving family for the holidays and will be providing the family with toys and gifts so that they too can have a joyous holiday. We will be working with a couple of veterans groups on campus as well as the Baring House this year.

During the holiday in December, departments from across the University “adopt” a deserving family. The adoption is usually done in lieu of departmental gift exchanges. The assigned family is treated to presents and sometimes holiday dinner.  Families participate in the program on a one-time basis.

Families are assigned to departments based on request.  Departments choose the size of the family they would like to adopt.  Departments can also request the ages of the children they are interested in adopting.

Departments may request a “wish list” from the family or they may choose their own gifts for the family members. Departments choose the number and types of gifts they will provide.  Departments are provided with size of the family, names, ages and sizes of each family member.

Departments are encouraged to deliver gifts to the families, but they may also request to have gifts delivered. Families are selected from the Baring House Family Service Agency, local agencies and shelters .  A small number of referrals are also accepted.

Selection of families begins in November and assignments are made during and prior to mid December. Contact Isabel Sampson-Mapp at (215) 898-2020 or send an e-mail: sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu for additional information and/or to volunteer for this program.

Coat Drive: December 3-7

Does your gently used winter coat still have some serviceable miles on it or do you have a new coat to donate? Warm coats new or in good condition, for both children and adults, are needed by a number of charitable organizations in the Philadelphia area. Penn Volunteers in Public Service in the Netter 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 NCCP 111 South 38th St, Second Floor. They do not have the facilities or funds to clean donated items. Freshly laundered (or recently cleaned) items are especially appreciated. Bring in your gently used coats to be donated to area shelters. Contact Isabel Sampson-Mapp at (215) 898-2020 or send an e-mail: sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu for additional information and/or to make a donation.
