Jeffery Larsen ’16 and Ricardo Gonzalez ‘16, Executives for MSC Aggie Leaders of Tomorrow (ALOT), organized this year’s MSC ALOT Angel Tree which assists Salvation Army in giving Christmas gifts to underprivileged youth in Bryan and College Station. MSC ALOT has hosted an Angel Tree to benefit youth in the area for 20 years. Last year MSC ALOT helped provide gifts for 400 Angels—substantially more than other organizations that host Angel Trees with the Salvation Army.This year MSC ALOT adopted out 550 Angels ranging from newborn to 14 years of age. Tables were set up in the Memorial Student Center and Commons from 9-5 on November 14th – 26th. For those who adopted Angels, gifts will be collected until December 3rd in the Student Programs Office. Members of MSC ALOT will then help the Salvation Army sort and deliver gifts to the Angels and their families.
Jeffery and Ricardo are both members of the Community Support Sub-Committee that provides service and hope to the Bryan-College Station community. Jeffery enjoys helping and leading freshman as a sophomore executive in MSC ALOT, and the organization has given him the opportunity to serve and give back to the community. Ricardo loves helping people and believes that it is especially important to support the Bryan-College Station community that is home to Texas A&M University.
