The Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Greenville is organizing a donation drive to help collect supplies for the United Ministries Place of Hope homeless shelter and food pantry in Greenville. Supplies are in great need at the moment. A list of needed items is posted above and below. Donations can be dropped off at the School of Medicine in the labeled bins in front of where Au Bu Pon used to be on the way to the lecture hall. Donations can also be made through Amazon using the following link https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/11D4YA6DT1JYV/ref=cm_go_nav_hz.
There will be a college competition to see which college can donate the most items. If an item is ordered off of Amazon please screenshot the donation and send it to Nick Colucciello (nac@email.sc.edu) with your college listed so it can be counted for your college. The college with the most points will win a prize at the end. Your help is greatly appreciated!
