Hot Chocolate and Warm Feelings

Help me give my students a cup of hot chocolate during cold days.

My Project

Cold days, like those we have encountered recently, leave students requesting something hot to warm them. Our student organization meetings can get uncomfortable, when students are cold. Trying to focus on career opportunities can often get lost, if you are cold. Your help can give them some Ghirardelli Chocolate Sauce and a snack to warm them.

Cold drafts in classrooms diminish our student organization members' chances of maximizing the advancement of their health career exploration.

Please assist them with staying warm in student meetings, while maximizing engagement, increasing service and developing professionally with some hot chocolate.
