Operation Give Back List

Fellow Owls, here is the list I promised of the things that the troops will be needing again this year. Please print it out and do what you can. Let us know when you have some things gathered up.

We also are still needing a volunteer to be the designated "ship to" person. This person will be in charge of allowing other OWLS members to ship their donations to his or her home, then they will box them all up and ship them to the relief center designation. The relief center will then ship them on to the troops for distribution to the families.

Here is the list of needed items:

Operation Support Our Troops!

Greetings! I am proud to announce that the Kaplan University OWLS Members will once again be supporting the Operation Give Back Program through the Operation Support Our Troops Campaign.

Join us in supporting our troops who are serving in war torn countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. We will be collecting items to send to the solidiers in those countries, they will then take them and distribute them to needy children and their families in Iraq and Afghanistan.

To learn more about Operation Support Our Troops please download this flyer. It explains a little bit about what exactly they are looking for as far as donations ..etc.

One lucky OWLS Member will be recruited to recieve all the donations and then forward them on the designated relief center, for distribution to our soldiers. If you are an OWLS m*ember and would like to volunteer to be the host person, please contact our Vice-President, C.J White at Carolynwhite25@student.kaplan.edu

The rest of us, lets donate what we can and help show the world that we care! For a list of exactly what they request that we donate please go here.

And last but not least if you are a Kaplan University Student in good standing and are a Non-Traditional (Adult) Student, and either in the School of Health Sciences or the Division of Arts and Sciences, I encourage you to become a member of the OWLS group! You will find the application located on your student desktop under My Community.
