VMSS Sock Drive- Now Through Jan 17, 2025!

Veteran & Military Student Services (VMSS) and VETS Club are working with NineLine Veteran Services to do a winter sock drive for homeless veterans!

This is a flyer with a bunch of sock drawings and text about the event which is captured in this post.

Clean socks are critical to the comfort and well-being of the homeless population, and can be a glimmer of hope for those that are going through an especially difficult time during the holidays and cold weather.

Please donate NEW, UNOPENED socks (men’s and women’s) to any of the donation barrels located around campus!

Donation Barrels:

  • FOSS 5225A
  • PUB/9000 Building
  • (main floor)
  • Benefits Hub (front)
  • Library/4000 Building

Questions, comments, or concerns, contact VMSS at militaryservices@shoreline.edu

Events and News 

Good afternoon! It’s a short week this week due to the holiday and due to the storm as well— I hope everyone has electricity by now!!  At the end of last week, we had the presidents WACTC meeting, and this week the Foundation directors meeting. I am mostly catching up from a mountain of email.  No major community events/connections to report. 

Speaking of community- Cat and Damon and the team put together a new webpage called “Community”.  The idea is to direct folks to come to campus and enjoy all we have to offer in a one-stop-shop place.   

I want to share it here in case you have ideas of things to add etc. We would also love to help promote it with our community partners so please let us know any ideas! 

It’s under “about” on the main page 

https://www.shoreline.edu/about-shoreline/community.aspx

I also wanted to wish all a great Thanksgiving holiday whether with family or doing a “Friendsgiving” I hope you all have a pleasant and restful break. 

Cheers, 

Jack
