Fordham University Holiday Service Season Is Under Way in New York, With a Thanksgiving Food Drive Serving Eight Community Partners, Storytime With Neighborhood Kids on November 13 and a Thanksgiving Meal Distribution on November 21
Fordham University offers multiple opportunities to lift up its neighbors this holiday season, and Carol Gibney, who leads Fordham Pedro Arrupe Volunteers program, said volunteering is not something you check off a to-do list but about engaging with and learning from surrounding communities over the long term.
Campus Ministry is accepting monetary donations for their annual food drive through November, and the contributions will help feed families served by eight community partners, from the Creston Avenue Baptist Soup Kitchen in the Bronx to Xavier Mission in Chelsea.
Service opportunities hosted by Campus Ministry include Storytime with Neighborhood Kids at Lincoln Center on November 13, Mission-in-Action Sandwich Making at Rose Hill on November 17, and a Thanksgiving Meal Distribution on November 21 in partnership with External Affairs.
External Affairs annual toy drive for 1,000 children in the Bronx takes place in mid-December, with the exact date and drop off locations to be announced on the University Calendar, volunteers can sign up now to help sort and wrap presents on December 9, 10 or 11, and the age range for gifts is newborn through 17, with gifts to be kept unwrapped.
Fordham is also partnering with the New York Liberty on a toy drive for children from a local Bronx school, with a gifting party at Rose Hill on December 2.
