Family Supportive Housing Needs Your Help with Their Toy and Gift Drive!
Attention San Jose State University!
Family Supportive Housing has reached out to the SJSU student organization community to help them gather toys and gifts for this holiday season! Their Christmas Shoppe is a room set up like a store where parents can “shop” for their children’s presents and the children can shop for their parent’s presents to give to each other on Christmas.
They need NEW clothing and accessories for children birth to 17 (i.e. coats, pajamas, socks, shoes, slippers, hats, scarves), toys and games (i.e. Fisher Price toys, Nerf Sports equipment, Barbies, art kits, and coloring books), clothing and accessories for adult men and women - including store gift cards, family needs (i.e. gas cards, child bus passes, prepaid phone cards, and movie passes), personal items (i.e. shampoo, soap, body lotion, bath sets, and hair dryers), first aid supplies, and Christmas wrapping materials!
The LAST DAY to donate gifts for the shelter to make it in time for Christmas is DECEMBER 13th! Either bring your item to the Student Involvement office in Clark Hall 140 OR drop it off directly at the Family Supportive Housing located at 1590 Las Plumas Ave I San Jose, CA 95133.
You can also volunteer to work at the Christmas Shoppe! There are opportunities to help families shop and wrap gifts or even decorate cookies and sing Christmas carols with the children! This will be a wonderful event

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING SERVING OPPORTUNITIES POST!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
As we grow older, we start forgetting bits and pieces of our childhood until one day we wake up and discover that we can only recall a handful vivid memories of those elementary school days. Above you see a drawing that I made when I was in first grade. And as you may guess, this turkey is one of my vivid memories. As I was packing up and empyting out my cubby for the weekend I remember feeling this over-dramatice sense of pride and excitment. I couldn't wait to take this home and show my mom what I drew; which of course was the best Turkey a first grader had ever drawn in the history of Thanksgiving. You may be shocked to find out that when I thrust this into my Mom's hands, rather than showering me with praise, she actually started laughing. I didn't understand what was going on. Was my mom really laughing at my masterpiece? It quickly got worse. My dad walked in and as soon as he saw it he started cracking up as well. Within a few seconds the tears started flowing out. After about 5 minutes everyone in my six person family was making fun of my turkey and there I was not understanding why my family had turned into a bunch of bullies. My brother was the first one to notice my distress and was kind enough, admist the giggles, to ask me, "So exactly how many legs does a turkey have?" I knew that answer, "Four! ... wait... um... hmm... two?" Not only had I drawn a partial chicken head on my turkey but I also gave this bird of prey two extra limbs! Now this story is why, for every Thanksgiving since the first grade, my father makes two extra turkey legs while everyone gets a good laugh at the little girl who didn't quite know her animals.
Now, what does this story have to with the SOAL blog you may ask? Well it doesn't have any real connection with it but it did make me think about how lucky I am to have that story, that meal, that family, and that home to look forward to every year on Thanksgiving. There are so many people out there - literally outside of the classrooms at school and outside of your home, that are not fortunate enough to have a place to live, food to eat, and a family to love. This Thanksgiving and upcoming holiday season I encourage you to help someone in need of care and compassion. I have compiled a list of some of the community service organizations that exist throughout San Jose. Many of them need help and if you could offer a few hours time, a check, canned food, a coat, or anything then you will be a part of making a stranger's holiday season (and remember, over 25% of the homeless in Santa Clara County are children) a happy and vivid memory that will last a lifetime.
Loaves and Fishes

This past Thursday- Salsa Club's Salsa in the Village and Poverty Under the Stars
This past Thursday was filled with excitement at SJSU! The Salsa Club burned up the makeshift dance floor in the Campus Village quad! Members of the club taught a free Salsa lesson then there was an hour of free dancing to sizzling salsa, cha-cha, and bachata music. At 9:00pm the SJSU Salsa Club team performed followed by numerous individual/pair performances. The SJSU community wishes all of the dancers luck at the upcoming San Francisco Salsa Congress!
At the other end of campus, more than 50 students camped out on the grass in front of the Tommie Smith and John Carlos statue. This year's 5th annual Poverty Under the Stars event focused on the great recession and the current economic status for many Americans: jobless and homeless. "The event featured vaious speakers, a video about real-life instances of homelessness, entertianment, and the main event, which was simply camping outside and understanding what it's like to be without the comfort of a warm home" (from Jordan Liffengren's Spartan Daily story, read the whole article at SJSU hosts fifth annual 'Poverty Under the Stars' to bring to light issues caused by the Great Recession).
