james madison university jmuThis holiday season JMU’s University Recreation Center will partner with First Step, Mercy House and Crossroads to Brain Injury Recovery through the annual Warm Winter Wish Program.

UREC receives a list of wishes from the partners for families in need and hangs them on a tree. Members of the community fulfill these wishes.

Last year over 2,000 gifts were donated. For gifts donated this year, UREC will host a wrapping party on Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. where students, faculty and staff will donate supplies and wrap the gifts.
