There is still time to participate in a collection to help local kids in need sponsored by a Slippery Rock University organization.
SRU’s Student Nonprofit Alliance is hosting a “Hug the Kids” campaign to help kids entering the foster care system through the Butler County Alliance for Children as well as the Christian outreach organization Bethany Ministries.
Items for care packages are needed including toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, crayons, and notebooks. These items will be collected through Friday in bins in the lobby of the Spotts World Culture Building or donations will be accepted through designated online registries at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
Monetary donations will be accepted through the Slippery Rock University Foundation.
