If you are traveling this summer, please remember to save the small hotel toiletry items that you do not use. The College and Community Partnerships Office and the Buffalo State Alumni Association will once again be collecting these items for the kids at the Asarese Youth Center (located on Rees and Grant streets). The items will be placed in 2009 holiday bags and distributed to the children who attend the center. Last year, thanks to the generosity of Buffalo State faculty and staff, over 150 bags were given out. Many of these youths live in poverty and often do not have items that we take for granted like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, cream, combs, brushes, lip balm, soap, etc. We also like to fill some bags with items specifically for teen boys and girls. Your donations will help make the holidays a little better for these struggling families.
