#GettingBackGivingBack

Her Campus Placeholder Avatar Julianne Rizzotti
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at HWS chapter.

The Her Campus Hobart and William Smith Chapter is lucky to have some amazing leadership at HC Nationals who make sure that we are spoiled during the academic year. They bring together the absolute best team of sponsors who shower us with goodies to share. This semester the HC Team encouraged us to not only treat ourselves, but to also give back to our campus and surrounding community. As much as we would LOVE to keep the entire Back to School Survival Kit to ourselves, we decided to do something even better, GIVE BACK! We rose to the challenge and donated all of our sponsors’ generous treats to a food shelter where they will be packaged and handed out to women who are suffering from poverty. 

Even though we decided to package all of these gifts away, we thought that we would share a little bit about some of our sponsors and their products:
