Winter Necessities Drive

GW has partnered with DC Public Schools to collect winter necessities for local students and their families. Donate new socks, gloves, mittens, and winter hats for children, teenagers, and adults. 

Donation stations will be available at the Virginia Campus and Foggy Bottom Winter Celebrations.  If you would like to contribute but are unable to attend the events, you may drop off items at the Honey W.
