Take the ‘First Step!’

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

Have an old pair of athletic shoes you are trying to get rid of? UREC is currently collecting athletic shoes that will be donated to the Harrisonburg community. The shoes will go to First Step, a support system for women who have experienced domestic violence, and Our Community Place, an organization that promotes the personal growth and well-being of Harrisonburg. Look for bins in the UREC lobby and on the first floor of Godwin until March 2nd to donate!
