For Rowan College of South Jersey’s (RCSJ) Gloucester campus
Student Government Association (SGA), not even a pandemic can dampen their
holiday spirit. The SGA, in partnership with the Rowan College Foundation and
the Center for People in Transition, will move their 12th annual Season
of Giving community project to a virtual platform to ensure that the event
spreads nothing but goodwill and cheer.
The Season of Giving project encourages RCSJ students,
staff, faculty and community members to come together to provide gifts that will
make the holiday season a little brighter for Gloucester County children in
need. To keep participants socially distanced and safe, this year the SGA is
seeking online monetary donations in lieu of physical gifts. Every dollar
donated will go towards the purchase of gifts for the 95 local children currently
looking to the program for some seasonal cheer. New for 2020, donors may also
choose to sponsor a grocery store gift card to ensure the entire household is
able to celebrate their chosen holiday with the universal tradition of a festive
family meal.
“We are excited to once again partner up with Rowan College
of South Jersey on their annual Season of Giving – every year we help over 30
families with gifts and food for the holidays,” said Crystal Noboa, Director of
the Center for People in Transition. “Our mission is to help displaced
homemakers achieve self-sufficiency through life-skills training, education or
vocational training, advocacy and supportive services. Becoming self-sufficient
is a challenging task and having financial support during the holidays puts
them one step closer to achieving their goals.”
A $25 dollar donation buys a child’s gift; for a $75
donation a child’s entire wish list can be granted; each $100 dollar donation
sponsors a grocery store gift card that will feed the whole family – or donate
in any amount you choose. Join the RCSJ Student Government Association’s
mission to spread some holiday cheer and visit RCSJ.edu/SeasonOfGiving by Wed.,
Dec. 23 to make your donation.
