Virginia Tech’s Residential Well-being District Three is collecting new and gently used books at several campus locations through Nov. 13 for the Montgomery County Christmas Store, according to an Oct. 26 announcement from Virginia Tech News. The drive is part of the district’s Gather and Give week of service opportunities, scheduled for Nov. 9-13, the announcement said.
Book collection bins are available starting the week of Oct. 26 in Main Eggleston Hall, Donaldson Brown, Hoge Hall and Payne Hall, according to Virginia Tech News. Students and staff can also leave donations in the main lobbies of McComas Hall, New Hall West, the Graduate Life Center and Peddrew-Yates, the announcement said.
Each book donated enters the donor into a raffle for a book basket with treats and local goodies, with one raffle entry per book, according to the announcement.
Other Gather and Give week service opportunities listed by Virginia Tech include crafting for the community, writing gratitude letters and making toys for the local animal shelter. The announcement directs people to GobblerConnect for upcoming events and lists rwbdistrict3@vt.edu for questions or more information.
