MC Students Raise $700 on Giving Tuesday
December 2, 2014
Giving Tuesday was held on December 2nd and our students, staff and faculty made quite the impact in our local community. Giving Tuesday inspires personal philanthropy and encourages bigger, better and smarter charitable giving during the holiday season, showing that the world truly gives as good as it gets. Methodist College sold special t-shirts and old fashioned soda in order to raise funds to benefit the mental health unity at UnityPoint Health – Methodist with the purchase of exercise equipment. Through the MC community’s support, the College raised close to $700 dollars. In addition, Colleen Karn’s ASM class visited Lutheran Hillside Village to spread cheer by delivering slipper socks and lotion to residents in order to share the meaning of Giving Tuesday with the local community we serve.
