De Anza College's Inter Club Council is holding an eyeglass drive from Jan. 16 to Feb. 2 at 5 p.m and a cell phone drive from Feb. 12 to March 2.
Jordan Eldridge, ICC Chair of Programs, is overseeing the drive and wants to see students participating. "We should help our community as much as we can," said Eldridge.
Clubs and individuals may make donations. Clubs should turn in the eyeglasses in a bag labeled with the club's name. On Feb. 7, the number of donations will be totaled.
The club with the most will receive $100. The remaining clubs may participate in a $50 drawing. The phones will go to single and battered women who may need a phone in case of emergency.
"It's a very good cause and I believe we should all be doing our part to help those in our community who are in need," said Eldridge.
The ICC holds drives each quarter. A toothbrush and food drive takes place in the fall. An eyeglass and cell phone drive occurs in the winter and a food and battery drive takes place in the spring. "Part of our duty as good citizens is to help others," said Eldridge.
Gently used eyeglasses can be placed in donation bins in the Advanced Technology Center, the Student Community Services Building, the Wellness Center, the library and the Student Activities Office. Donations can also be dropped off in the ICC office.
