HPU student organizations to host charity drive for Children’s Advocacy Center

Brownwood News – Howard Payne University’s Criminal Justice Club and Amigos Unidos Club will host an event this Saturday, April 13, to collect new and gently used items for the Heart of Texas Children’s Advocacy Center in Early. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Abundant Life Church on West Commerce in Brownwood.

The organizations are requesting donations of blankets, backpacks, stuffed animals and hygiene products. Dr. Danny Brunette-López, associate professor of Spanish and chair of HPU’s Department of Spanish and Hispanic Studies, serves as adviser of the Amigos Unidos Club.

“The students of both clubs would like to give back to the community and show the true giving spirit of Howard Payne, especially to the children in our area who have suffered greatly,” he said.
