I write with hope that you can kindly contribute to our service effort with supplies useful to homeless Berkeley youth residing at Youth Engagement, Advocacy and Housing, or Y.E.A.H!, Homeless Shelter. The entire month of March we will be collecting the five most-needed items; new underwear, socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant, along with other types of toiletries. On Thursday, March 27, 2013, we will host a student community event to gather our collected items into kits that will be donated to the Y.E.A.H! Shelter. Berkeley Leadership will contribute $500 in funds to this drive and we hope that you can join us in supporting Y.E.A.H!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>If you can make a donation or have any questions, please email the Director of Student Activities, John Villavicencio, at <a href="mailto:johnvillavicencio@berkeley.net">johnvillavicencio@berkeley.net</a>, or contact us at (510) 644-8990.
