Day 2: Giving Tuesday on Campus
December 2, 2025
December 2, 2025
Happy Giving Tuesday! We know there are many worthy causes vying for your attention today. Do good and give to what matters most to you today and every day.
At Washington College today, please direct your attention to our efforts to care for the most basic needs of our students through George’s Free General Store. With rising tuition costs and the nature of life offering unexpected challenges, some students are unable to afford what many of us take for granted. Today, the WC campus and local community are working together to give back to meet our students’ basic needs.
As the name implies, George’s Free General Store offers donated pantry items and toiletries on the 1st floor of Hodson Hall. During winter break, several students will remain on campus as they don’t have homes to return to. Your donation to George’s Free General Store will help make their winter stay on campus more comfortable.
Join us in supporting George's Free General Store by donating toiletries and pantry items this Giving Tuesday and all during December Do Good Days. Local alumni, community members, faculty, and staff are invited to drop off donations at the Alumni House anytime from December 1-12.
