Brightening the holidays for kids

Captain of the EMU Hockey Club, Derek Wilson, left, a junior from Riverview, Mich., and assistant captain, David Aliff, a senior from Northville, Mich., gather up goods donated during the VISION office’s annual toys and clothing drive. The drive, which ran Nov. 19 – Dec. 10, brought in donations for more than 200 children, according to VISION student coordinator Beth Canfield, a senior from Uniontown, Ohio.

Students from the VISION office and the EMU hockey club decorated trees in McKenny Union, the Halle Library and Pray-Harrold, with lists of requested gifts for area children. The students will be donating the gifts to the Salvation Army in Ypsilanti and the Ypsilanti Housing Commission.
