NO GRINCHES ALLOWED: YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND STAFF SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER WITH FOOD, GIFTS, AND GROCERY GIFT CARDS FOR 50+ FAMILIES ON PRESCOTT AND VERDE VALLEY CAMPUSES

Members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute donate more than $2,300

There were no grinches allowed on the Prescott and Verde Valley campuses this holiday season, thanks to the efforts of students, volunteers, and the Yavapai Community College Staff Association.

According to a Community College Facebook post, the group distributed “boxes galore” filled with food, gifts, and grocery gift cards to more than 50 Community College students and their families. The deliveries were made directly to the Prescott and Verde Valley campuses.

This heartwarming project was spearheaded by the Yavapai Community College Staff Association and made possible by the generosity of YCC employees, community members, and an army of volunteers.

Members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) contributed more than $2,300 to purchase grocery gift cards, while YCC family and friends helped fulfill children’s holiday wishes through an Angel Tree program.
