College of DuPage faculty, staff and students will collect and donate much-needed items to more than 20 community agencies this winter through the annual "Up to S.N.O.W. Good" initiative.

Organized by "COD Cares," the initiative asks participants to "Serve the Needs of Others in Winter," by adopting a partner agency or granting holiday wishes for families and children in need.

Partner agencies include: 360 Youth Services, DuPage Care Center, DuPage County Animal Services, Family Shelter Service, Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, People's Resource Center and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Volunteers will hand-deliver items later this month and close the college's holiday giving celebration at the "Up to S.N.O.W. Good" "It's a Wrap" party on Friday, Dec. 6.
