Cardinal at Work Cares: Thank you for your donations

Throughout November, our community came together to provide personal care items and hand-written words of encouragement for others in need. We want to thank everyone for their generosity, especially our Cardinal at Work Cares Ambassadors who coordinated efforts across campus, Stanford Redwood City, SLAC and the Stanford Research Park. On Dec. 4, 6 and 7, volunteers will sort and assemble your donations into care packs that will have local and statewide reach. They'll be given to those impacted by recent wildfires through the Oroville Hope Center and California Wildfire Recovery Resources, as well as to families at the Stanford Ronald McDonald House, and local CityTeam Homeless shelters.
