Saint Ursula Academy continues its tradition of service each year by supporting social service agencies in a variety of ways. This fall, SUA students collected Personal Care items to support local agencies in their ministry to the poor. The Personal Care Drive theme this year was Think-her, with an emphasis on the needs of women. The drive supported two local non-profits: Hope Emergency Program in Brown County, OH and Women of Alabaster street ministry in Cincinnati.
Students donated NEW personal care products requested by the agencies, like toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, soap, deodorant, socks, and more. Students simply placed donations in the collection bins in SUA’s Keller Student Center. Then a group of students delivered the collections to the agencies. The multi-week drive ended with 47 bags/boxes of personal care items and $600 in cash to donate.
SUA is grateful to all of the students, faculty, staff, family and friends who donated to Saint Ursula Academy’s annual Personal Care Drive. Special thanks to the Personal Care Drive student leaders: Megan Balda, Audrey Kirwin, Linsey Klug, Izzy Mitchell and Liz Summers for their creativity and energy!
