"We have a lot of pretty little soaps, smell good soaps and battered women you think about how they probably feel inside and about themselves and self-esteem and something that smells nice would make them feel good," said Brown.
Bass was also interested in sending any unused items from the shelter to Forest Park Academy in Roanoke City where a lot of students come from underprivileged families. Bass and Brown are amazed by the response from fellow Horizon Students and Professors.
"We're really surprised and really grateful," said Bass. "Now we have enough soap to take to the Turning Point and plenty left over to take to Forest Park Academy," Brown said. "Keep it coming."
Items can be donated through December 18. Students and faculty may drop off the items on campus at either Eastnor or the DuPont Chapel. They can also contact Bass at HYPERLINK "mailto:EBass@hollins.edu" EBass@hollins.edu or Brown at HYPERLINK "mailto:LBrown@hollins.edu" LBrown@hollins.edu.
As Brown said the importance of holiday charities is all about, "Helping someone else this Christmas and not looking at Christmas as all about you and doing something for someone else."
