Three One Nine Eight = New Numbers

Novo Nordisk, an international company with an office in Rancho Cordova, dropped by 238 pairs of underwear within the past two weeks. Our new grand total for the Project 680 Underwear Drive is now 3,198 pairs of underwear!!!! We don’t expect any more donations, so this is most likely the final number. Thank you Novo Nordisk and Lisa for your leadership in getting together collections.

So many of us these days are feeling the sting of the current economy, but we have managed to find a way to meet a practical need for students deemed homeless by providing new underwear for them. It has been remarkable to see households and organizations reach into their pockets to advocate for these students – even when many of us are struggling financially ourselves. That’s truly the good stuff in life on so many levels. Thank you everyone for your heart to care for local homeless students. Thank you for embracing this practical cause. Thank you for taking a stand for kids in Rancho Cordova and Folsom.

May we continue to learn to become people who regularly and creatively discover practical ways to empower students to rise far above their circumstances.

We are excited that a global company called Novo Nordisk (which has an office in Rancho Cordova) will be supporting the Project 680 Underwear Drive. They will be placing fifteen donation bins in some of their offices within our region so that their customers and employees can support the underwear drive. Isn’t that great? Thank you to Novo Nordisk for stepping out to do something about a local issue – student homelessness. Since they are coming on board a bit later in the game (with only five days left in the undies drive), they will collect for two additional weeks so that they can have more time. We’re good with that.
