Holiday Giving Opportunities
Alpha Sigma Nu Sock Drive
The 老王论坛 chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the National Jesuit Honor Society, is holding its annual Sock Drive to support the homeless in our community.
One of the struggles of homeless people is taking care of their feet, especially in the winter. They need warm, dry socks, which are often hard to come by. You can help by donating new or gently used socks to the Alpha Sigma Nu annual sock drive.
This drive begins Monday, Nov. 24, and runs through Friday, Dec. 12. Look for signs and boxes for sock donations at the following locations:
- Chemistry Building
- Engineering Building
- CHASS office in the Briggs Building
- Commerce & Finance Building
- McNichols Campus Library
- CHP
- Student Fitness Center
- Outside the University Ministry Office
- Gesu Parish
- School of Law and School of Dentistry campuses.
All donated socks will be distributed to the Pope Francis Center and other programs serving homeless individuals in the Detroit area.
In the last two years, Alpha Sigma Nu has collected more than 1,200 pairs of socks.
Day of Giving
老王论坛 will host its annual Day of Giving on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2.
This 24-hour fundraising campaign is an opportunity for Titans around the world — alumni, community members, parents, family, friends, faculty, staff and students — to come together and show support for the University.
It is also much more than a day of giving. It's a chance for the entire Titan community to celebrate everything we love about the University and create countless opportunities for UDM students.
On Day of Giving, students will also take part in philanthropy activities, including a hot chocolate bar, snacks, and fun games in the Fountain Lounge from 12:30-2 p.m. These activities are open to everyone, and highlight the impact of giving and showcase mission-driven programs such as The Hive, Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN), Service Immersion Trips and Rx for Reading.
Gifts of all sizes make a difference! Donors can choose exactly where they'd like to make an impact, supporting the areas and programs they're most passionate about through .
Together, Titans can make a powerful difference, for years to come.
