These dynamic duo seniors from George Fox University have joined our Community Drop-In Center this year to help us sprinkle some extra community magic. 🪄🐈‍⬛ Spooky! 🧛🏻‍♂️

James loves to play board games with our guests. Chess, anyone? ♟️🤣 Kasey, on the other hand, is always ready to start some fun with an art project up his sleeve. 🎨.

They’re diving into essential supportive services, community outreach, and lending helping hands on various upcoming projects. 💪 We’re incredibly lucky to have their fresh perspectives and 👻spirited 👻 energy on board.

Swing by The Drop to say “hi” share a laugh, and maybe swap some study tips with them. They can't wait to meet all of you! 👋😊🎃

🧣❄️ Winter Needs for Our Homeless Community! ❄️🧤

As the colder months approach, our Community Drop-In Center is preparing to support those in need. We are reaching out to gather essential items for our homeless neighbors to keep them warm and safe during the winter season.

Here’s how you can help:

🌟 Warm Clothing: We’re in need of coats, sweaters, hoodies, sweatpants, beanies, gloves, and warm scarves. And hey, rain ponchos would be awesome too! 🌧️
🌟 Non-Perishable Food Items: fresh fruit, canned goods, hot chocolate & coffee packets, and easy-to-prepare meals will help nourish those who visit us.
🌟 Personal Care Products: Toiletries such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and feminine hygiene products are always appreciated.
🌟 Winter Footwear: Sturdy boots and really warm socks can make a huge difference for those braving the elements.

If you’re interested in donating or volunteering, please reach out to us! Together, we can make a positive impact in our community this winter. Thank you for your generosity and support! ❤️

🌞🎨 A Fond Farewell to Our Summer Superstar! 🎨🌞

Today we’re saying goodbye to our incredible GFU summer intern, Mikala! From sharing her passion in social work to bringing vibrant art projects to life, she's made this summer truly unforgettable.

Every week, she turned our sidewalks into colorful masterpieces, spreading joy and creativity to everyone who passed by. Her dedication and positivity have left a lasting impression on our team and community.

Thank you, Mikala, for your hard work, your laughter, and your artistic spirit. We can't express how much we'll miss you, but we're excited to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish in the future!

Best of luck on your next adventure! 🎉🌈🖌️

But wait…… we already know what that next adventure is going to be! Because in a few short weeks, she’s coming back to The Drop as STAFF MIKALA! Oh what fun we’re going to have!
