EMPOWER will be holding a competitive donation drive through Dec. 9.
The organization is seeking toiletries and self-care items. The donations will be given to the Women’s Center for Advancement, Heartland Family, and Open Door Mission to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Staff, faculty and students are invited to donate, but the results of the competition will be based off the number of donations per students in each college. There will be collection boxes located in each college building.
EMPOWER is a partnership between the Women’s Center for Advancement and the Service Learning Academy (SLA) hosted by the UNMC College of Public Health. The SLA offers unique interdisciplinary and interprofessional service-learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate level students enrolled on the UNMC campuses.
