Fundraiser

Hi everyone!

The Prepharmacy Society wants to give back to the community this winter, so we will be doing a coin drive and a winter clothing drive.

The coin drive will take place in several science classes. We will be doing a short speech at the beginning of class and pass around a jar to collect donations to go towards buying gloves and blankets for the homeless. This will take place the week of November 22. If you want to help us out, you can do the speech with one of the executive members and collecting the donations, or just support us if the coin drive is happening in your class.

The neighbourhood clothing drive will take place around UBC for and old clothing that people would like to donate. We will be picking up clothing on Thursday, November 25. The meeting time is currently set at 4:45 PM, and pickup goes from 5-6 PM. If you would like to participate, you will be doing the pickup with an executive member.

All clothing items from the coin drive and the neighbourhood clothing drive will be donated to the First United Church. The First United Church is situated in the Downtown East Side, and is also a shelter. They also hand out free food and clothing to the homeless that need them.

If you are interested in helping us out, please contact Amy, our VP Internal, at amytsai26@gmail.com.

Please note that the fundraiser is members-only.
