新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis employees and students are the lifeblood of a long-standing program to provide food and gifts for needy Davis families each holiday season, and 2015 was no exception.

Twenty-eight departments, units and organizations 鈥渁dopted鈥 families through the Short-Term Emergency Aid Committee, or STEAC, .

鈥淭his program, I don鈥檛 think could go without the university鈥檚 involvement,鈥 longtime volunteer Lynne Rumery said. The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis affiliates are 鈥渃heerful participants鈥 who often adopt much larger families than individuals can, she said.

She said volunteers at STEAC are 鈥渢ouched by the kindness and generosity of the community there at 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis.鈥

For some, it鈥檚 just a natural next step from the work they do every day.

鈥淲e work here because we鈥檙e people who very much want to impact the lives of others and this is an extension of that,鈥 said Nefretiri Cooley-Broughton, executive director of Student Affairs Marketing and Communications.

All 10 people in that department 鈥 along with one former coworker who now works elsewhere on campus 鈥 pitched in for the seven-person family they adopted.

鈥淓veryone is so generous with their time and resources,鈥 senior designer Jenn Vaughn said. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 just do the bare minimum.鈥

Communications specialist Justin Ling said he tries to teach his children to be generous, so it only makes sense that he would donate to STEAC.

The Student Affairs Marketing and Communications donations 鈥 along with all the rest 鈥 were dropped off last week and picked up by the families over the weekend.
