MOTHERS MATTER CAMPUS-WIDE COLLECTION 2011
Dates: Ongoing from March 7 until May 1st
Location: Collection bins which are located in every building on campus.

GCC is one of many host sites for the Mother’s day gift drive, Mothers Matter, directed by the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation. They foundation provides gift baskets of health and beauty care products. The baskets are distributed to women that are often forgotten on Mother’s Day; some in rehab centers, mothers of pediatric patients, others in nursing homes, or low-income moms who simply need a lift on Mother's Day.

This year the Foundation will be distributing Mothers Matter gift baskets year round with a goal of 3,000 for 2011! The Student Government Association is working with Student Activities and members of our staff and faculty on this project. We will be volunteering as a group to help assemble the baskets and would love to have many more students involved in this cause.
