Magazines needed
Volunteer Services is looking for magazines no older than six months and in great shape for a magazine/book cart for inpatients on both campuses. The service is a great way to keep patients occupied during their hospital stays. Volunteer Services will place a sticker over personal information so there is no need to remove or cover your address. Please bring magazines to the Volunteer office on either campus at any time. For more information, email [email protected].
