Give Supplies


Jessie McGann from Procurement Services has coordinated with Facilities Management and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office to organize a donation drive to benefit the storm victims in Texas. Below is a list of items that are needed. Items can be dropped off at Facilities Management’s warehouse at 575 Alderman Road. Facilities Management’s Safety/Occupational Programs has donated bags that can be filled; you are welcome to pick up a bag to fill at 575 Alderman Road. Bags are available in the coffee/break area and can returned to Mariah Kier through September 8. A note in the bag would be very meaningful to the recipient.


For any questions, please contact Jessie at jfm9n@virginia.edu or 434-243-5192. Thanks to Jessie for organizing this opportunity for us all to help out those in Texas. And thank you for your generosity!
