It’s #GivingTuesday! In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø would like to share just a few ways to help those in need.

 Giving Tuesday
51³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation Transportation Assistance

This winter, the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation hopes to help 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students who are in need of transportation assistance to and from school. With the help of a local family foundation, every dollar contributed to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation Student Transportation Assistance Challenge through December 31, 2017, will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. You can —choose “Student Transportation Assistance” under “Designations.”

AmazonSmile

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support the Bunker Hill Community College Foundation. You’ll find the same shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Foundation. Learn more about AmazonSmile.

Single Stop Food Pantry

51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Single Stop office offers assistance to students facing economic barriers, like housing and food insecurity. If you have any shelf-stable food donations you’d like to contribute, bring them to the Single Stop Office (Room D206) where they may be picked up by a student in need. Learn more about Single Stop.

Stuff a Cruiser with Toys for Tots

Each year, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Campus Police collect new, unwrapped toys for children in need. Bring your donation to the cruiser on the main plaza on December 7. Toys for Tots donations will continue to be accepted through Friday, December 8, 2017. Please look for donation boxes around campus.

Donation Drive for Newly Arrived Families from Puerto Rico

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is partnering with the Chelsea Collaborative to collect new or like-new winter coats and school supplies for families who have relocated from Puerto Rico. Look for donation boxes at the Stuff a Cruiser event and around the Charlestown and Chelsea campuses starting next week. (More info to come!)

Thank you for helping to spread joy to those in need this holiday season!
