GUIDELINES
--
Furniture, household goods, electronics, silverware, dishes, kitchen equipment
and clothing are all helpful donations. All should be clean and in good
condition.
--
Books that are useful reference books or that are commonly assigned textbooks
here at YDS are good donations too. Others...not so much.
--
Please do not donate food.
--
We very much need to stick to these hours. Please do not drop things off at
Fisher at other times. The room will not be open. Facilities will understand
"donations" dumped off outside of scheduled hours as
"littering." Don't litter!
--
Unfortunately, we can't offer "pick-up" service at your home for
donated goods.
Thanks
in advance for easing the transition into YDS for the new class! Please direct any questions to nichole.flores@yale.edu or patrick.c.ward@yale.edu.
Bone Marrow Registration: Dear Friends, Three years
ago, when a family friend stricken with leukemia needed a bone marrow
transplant, I registered as a bone marrow donor. I have yet to be called to donate. However, the simple act of registering was an
occasion of grace. It was a chance to
stand up and say, I am ready, Lord, if you need me. Use me, use me to a good that is greater than
my own. To give life -- what else are we
called to do if not that? I encourage
you to register. For more information on
how to register, please go to www.marrow.org. Love to all, Judith Dupre.
