Some P.E.O.s and Cottey Alumnae send care packages, gift cards and birthday wishes to Cottey students, and generously support state scholarships. Now there is another way chapters/alumnae can help young women attending Cottey. The Wellness Center on campus saw a need for a pantry to aid certain students struggling with the cost of necessities while in college. The panty offers food items as well as feminine products, toiletries, and other personal items, and a small offering of clothing for girls with limited budgets. Cottey girls come in all shapes, sizes, economic situations, and from different parts of the globe. Cottey is dedicated to helping them thrive, not just survive.
The Wellness Center staff uses Walmart gift cards to purchase what is needed at the time, and the pantry stays well-stocked. If you would like to contribute toward a gift card from JI, please send your donation to Kathie Burson by December 1st.
