At Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University, giving back to one\u2019s community is a core value. As the Jesuit University of New Jersey, our mission is to form men and women with and for others.<\/p>\n<p>Our University is dedicated to meeting this mission through countless community service and class projects. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We are the only university in the country with a Campus Kitchen, as well as a Food Pantry and Clothes Closet open to the public.<\/li>\n<li>The Campus Kitchen has served 36,000 meals in the past three years and recovered 39,000 pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste.<\/li>\n<li>Through campus ministry alone, we held 250 community service projects last year, where 900 students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members completed more than 50,000 hours of volunteer work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your gift to The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Fund provides the resources that fuel these opportunities. The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Fund is a collective effort where gifts of all sizes come together to have a big impact. By making a gift now, you join with other alumni, parents and friends to strengthen financial aid, support academic programs and bolster the student experience. Together, we will change lives.<\/p>\n<p>For those wishing to make a gift before <strong>Sunday, December 31<\/strong>, you may do so through the following options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Via check mailed to the Office of Advancement and External Affairs, Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University, 2641 John F.
