The donation boxes that Gonzalez made can be found in the Holmes Hall lobby, in the Brown Building and in Bittersweet gift shop in the village of Brockport. She is partnering with Xerox for this donation drive, which runs through November 23.

Items to donate include craft supplies, board games, scarves, gloves, mittens, hats, and jackets. Unwrapped, new items will be accepted.

All of the gifts will be presented to the children during the Hispanic Association for Professional Advancement (HAPA) Holiday Party on December 4.
