The holiday season is a perfect time to give back, and many of our #BVCalumni share in this spirit to make an impact in their communities. To me, the spirit of giving means helping those who are less fortunate, especially during the holidays. Every Christmas, we go down to our local grocery store and fill up a few bags of items like canned food, gloves and mittens, socks, toothpaste, and any essential hygiene products to give to veterans. I feel it is important to give to those who fought for our freedom. - Patricia Soop, alumna, Human Resource Diploma
