Staff Senate Service Projects

AppKIDS Event

Celebrating 45 years of Service!

Did you know AppKIDS is in its 45th year raising money to provide winter clothes & school supplies for students from the Watauga County Schools?

Help us reach our $20,000 goal! Learn how you can support this amazing event by volunteering or making a donation.

Fall Move-In Day

Staff Employee Volunteers welcome incoming first year students and their guests, smile, and give directions from tent locations on the East and West sides of campus. This project is done in coordination with University Housing and Residence Life, but staff registration is done here and is entirely separate from student registration which is done through Housing.

Staff Senate Scholarships

Staff Senate awards scholarships to permanent staff members and their dependents.

Winter Clothing and Pet Blanket Drive

Give a Coat: “Gently used” winter clothing items of all sizes (infants, toddlers, children, teens, men, and women) are being collected for distribution to area families that need winter clothing. Donated coats will be delivered to the University Sustainability Free Store where they will be available to anyone in the Appalachian Community. Overflow donations will be delivered to the Hunger and Health Coalition.

Pet Blanket Drive: Watauga Humane Society also needs your help keeping our dogs, cats and bunnies warm!

Chair: Kalin Bradley (bradleykp@appstate.edu)

App Builds a Home
