The Filet Mignon

Yesterday was a ground-breaking day for Lesley Delivers. An article was posted on the Lesley University Athletics website detailing our work on the Winter Coat and Accessory Drive. Check it out at: www.lesley.edu/athletics! In addition, I received 7 emails from Lesley staff and faculty wanting to contribute to the cause. In fact, the Student Administrative Offices at Lesley are even hosting a raffle which will raise money for a Star Market gift card to fund us next semester. I was so touched by the emails and excited that word is getting out. It is a real reminder that we are making a difference!

On our sandwich run last night, we only ran into 5 or 6 individuals. This could be a positive thing-- maybe people are finding shelter in this chilly weather. I can't help but wonder, however, if maybe it has been too long since we were last out. Maybe a 2-week break was just enough time for people to lose hope that there are people out there who are trying to help. I hope this is not the case. We will hopefully be out one more time during finals week before our long winter break at home. I am hoping to work with some staff, faculty, and administrators during the January break to do a few sandwich runs since students will not be around. 

If you are reading this and are interested in helping out during the January break, please let me know!
