CPM is collecting clothing for Bethesda House; a gathering place for homeless folk and people who fall through many of the social service cracks. There are boxes located in the RA offices. While pakcing to go home for the summer, donate some of your old clothes that can still be worn.

With prayers that you, too, know what is holy; It's strange how deserts turn us into believers. I believe in walking in a landscape of mirages, because you learn humility. I believe in living in a land of little water because life is drawn together. And I believe in the gathering of bones as a testament to spirits that have moved on. If the desert is holy, it is because it is a forgotten place that allows us to remember the sacred. Perhaps that is why every pilgrimage to the desert is a pilgrimage to the self. There is no place to hide, and so we are found. -Terry Tempest Williams in "Refuge"
