Holiday Giving

In our usual tradition, the department of Theatre and Dance will be adopting those less fortunate to help out this holiday season.  Though we tried to narrow it down to one organization, due to equal interest, we found both a senior citizen center and no-kill shelter that will truly appreciate our support this holiday season. 

Polk County Humane Society (PCHS) is a No-Kill organization that, with the help of foster homes, provides temporary housing and care for dogs and cats.  And with their new shelter facilities opening the first week of November, they will have a greater than ever need for supplies to care for animals they previously had to turn away. In addition to the shelter, PCHS will continue to bring the dogs to the Springfield PetsMart on Saturday mornings to participate in the adoption clinic.  The new shelter is just one reason why Polk County Humane Society is excited to be adopted by the Theatre & Dance Department for the holiday season.   

Northwood Hills Care Center is situated in rural Humansville, Missouri.  Northwood Hills has served the Humansville community for twenty years providing inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, return-to-home programs, and the highest level of senior health care. The staff at Northwood Hills Care Center strives to make tomorrow better than today for the residents they serve, and that is why they are overwhelmingly appreciative of our efforts to gather comfort items that some of their senior residents are missing out on. 

To support one or both of these organizations, please see the donation lists posted outside Angie's office (CRA359).  The collection boxes will remain there from November 1st until December 10th (last day of classes).  She will then transport the items to each facility.  There will also be cards to sign for the Northwood residents.
