Ozarka College will sponsor a special event on December 1 and 2 for its students and staff. 'Care To Share' is a way to help during these tough economic times", said Deltha Shell, coordinator for this event.

A wide variety of items will be collected to share among the Ozarka College family. Students and staff should drop their items no later than November 25 to Trio offices in Melbourne or Ash Flat. In Mountain View, share items can be taken to the nursing facility.

Items needed include: Toys, household items, non-perishable foods, and new clothing, shoes, accessories. "Basically, bring anything you have at home that is in great condition that could be used by someone else. Maybe it's jewelry or shoes that you never wore, the extra crock pot you haven't taken out of the box or a board game your kids never played with. All those things would make great gifts for our students and their families. If you have questions about something you want to donate, check with us. We can provide you with a list of guidelines."

'Care To Share' will be set up on December 1 and 2 in the Miller Building on the Melbourne campus, in Room 106 in the new Ash Flat student center and at the Mountain View Nursing Education building. Students and staff may participate without needing to bring anything to share. Students need only bring their campus ID card for admission anytime from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. on either day.
