COSTA MESA

For the 14th year in a row, students from Orange Coast College are collecting Christmas gifts for needy and abused Orange County youngsters. The Angel Tree Project’s goal is to collect 3,500 gifts by Dec. 11 and give them to the county’s Social Services Agency for distribution. Unwrapped gifts may be dropped off at the Associated Students College Life Office in the Student Center, Mondays-Thursdays, 8 a.m.-9 p.m., and Fridays, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
