Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 43: Book Drive at UPenn
Hi everyone, this is Bianca. As a last act of service while my freshman year comes to and end, the class of 2013 is hosting a book drive. Students can choose to donate their textbooks, which will be resold by the organization, rather that sell them back to the bookstore for cash themselves. The chosen cause for this semester's book drive is the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The IFHF is a non profit organization that provides support for veterans and the families of those who have lost a loved one in a war. Though this fund most commonly gives monetary support to dependent families, it also provides funding for rehab centers for soldiers. The IFHF is an incredible organization that I have never heard of prior to this book drive. I donated two text books to the cause, and hopefully other students will contribute as well to aid the war veterans and heroes of our country. http://www.fallenheroes.org/
