The Blood Drive at Dawson on Feb. 22-23 was an “immense success considering the current covid context,” according to Héma-Québec.
A total of 108 members of the Dawson community gave blood. Héma-Québec wanted to thank Dawson on behalf of all the patients who will receive blood.
The Dawson Support Staff Union, the Association of Dawson Professionals and the Dawson Teachers Union co-hosted a Women's Day event in the Rose Lounge on March 8 featuring a book sale with proceeds to benefit Chez Doris. About 100 people dropped in and $450 was raised. Faculty, staff and students involved in Women's and Gender Studies also put on an event in Conrod's with a bake sale to benefit the Financial Aid Food Bank and activities, such as inviting the community to rename stops in Montreal's metro system. Colleagues enjoyed being together again and celebrating women.
The Financial Aid Food bank has been active throughout the pandemic and subsequent closures. As many as 20 students can drop in over a week. Our regular supporters have been bringing supplies throughout the past two years. However, our shelves are starting to show some serious gaps in supplies. Here is a list of needed items: rice, quinoa, bulgur, barley, dry legumes, canned proteins (salmon, corned beef, sardines, tuna, etc.) canned fruits, canned vegetables, boxed nut milk(s), oat milk, rice milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, instant coffee, tea, herbal tea, cereal, peanut butter, jelly, honey, personal hygiene products (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, etc).
Donations of non-perishable food and hygiene products can be dropped off at the Financial Aid Office: 4E2.
Get your gifts wrapped by Dawson volunteers every day and many evenings until end of day on Dec. 24. Your gift will be wrapped for a donation of $4 or more depending on the size of the package.
Our gift-wrapping station is located on the Mezzanine level of Alexis Nihon Mall right next to Cultures and the food court. Your donation will help us offer community-building and Living Campus projects that contribute to the well-being of our students. Thanks to Alexis Nihon for providing the store and all the gift-wrapping supplies. Thanks to the more than 200 students, employees and friends who are giving their time to staff all the store hours.
There is still time to make a child’s wish to Santa come true by participating in the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres annual Holiday Gift Campaign.
So far members of the Dawson community have covered 64 children! There are three teenagers still waiting to be matched for gifts. Dawson organizer Janice Harvey (Faculty, History) hopes some big departments and teams may come forward to cover the remaining children, probably about 30 still left. Many are teenagers asking for gift certificates.
Contact Janice Harvey before Dec. 10 if you would like to participate: jharvey@dawsoncollege.qc.ca

With the holiday season upon us, Dawson has embarked on a new activity in partnership with Alexis-Nihon that requires volunteers for short shifts.
