Sixty students and five faculty/staff volunteers collected a total of 25 boxes of toys, 40 boxes of food, and 60 (40-gallon) bags of clothing.

Co-sponsors of the event were the Counseling Center, Offices of Academic Advising and Volunteer Services, Residence Life, Student Affairs and Custodial Services. Co-organizers were counselor Julie Bezek of the Counseling Center and Stephanie Wares of Academic Advising.
