    <p>The Alvernia University community heard the call to action and mobilized to help victims of Hurricane Harvey however they could. That meant giving online, collecting supplies and volunteering their time to organize the effort.</p><p><p>Carey Manzolillo, associate director of communications at Alvernia, said the college community was inspired to give after seeing the horrific images of people fleeing their flooded homes in Texas after the storm dumped more than 50 inches of rain on the region. But school officials were unsure how they would get help to those who needed it the most.</p><p><p>Then they came across a Reading Eagle article highlighting how Cambridge-Lee Industries, which manufactures and distributes copper tubes, had organized a week-long collection drive at its Ontelaunee Township campus.</p><p><p>And the rest was history.<div id="paragraph-ad" style="display: block;margin-top: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;float: left;clear: both;width: 100%;background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;"><div style="margin-right: auto;margin-left: auto;text-align:center;padding:3px;width:294px;background-color:#776C58; "><font color="white">TODAY'S SPONSOR:</font></div><!-- /1013612/RE_Article_Block --><div id="div-gpt-midstory-block" style="height:250px; width:300px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #ccc;"><script type='text/javascript'>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-midstory-block'); });</script></div></div></p><p><p>"We partner with Cambridge-Lee for a number of other things, so working with them to get relief items to Texas was a natural fit for us," Manzolillo said. "Once we saw what they were doing, a number of our student groups decided to collect items here on campus."</p><p><p>She said that by Wednesday students had filled a box truck with all kinds of items - everything from toilet paper to canned foods.</p><p><p>"It's just great to see how many people wanted to help," she said.</p><p><p>Manzolillo said the university will also be donating clothing - a lot of clothing.</p><p><p>Since Alvernia changed its nickname this summer to the Golden Wolves, there has been an effort to find homes for the boxes of never-worn gear adorned with the university's former nickname, the Crusaders. The university will send more than 600 T-shirts to the hurricane victims.</p><p><p>Michele Blood, sales support manager at Cambridge-Lee, said the company has been overwhelmed by the amount of support their collection drive has received from organizations and businesses across the county.</p><p><p>"We have had a ton of stuff donated," she said. "It has been crazy good."</p><p><p>The company announced last week that it was collecting bottles of water, toiletries, baby food, pet food, diapers, cleaning supplies, nonperishable foods and more. Donations were then going to be loaded on a corporate fleet trailer for transport to Texas this Friday.</p><p><p>But since then, Blood said, the items have been pouring in and the company may have enough to fill three trucks.</p><p><p>"I have been so humbled by the support of the Berks County community," she said. "It is so good to see that people are willing to give to total strangers. In this day and age, I am so glad to see that the gift of giving is still something we value."</p><p><p>Contact Karen Shuey: 610-371-5081 or kshuey@readingeagle.com.</p><p>
