Staff Senate and the Office of University Sustainability are partnering for a campus-wide Food Drive to support the Food Pantry in the Sustainability Office. Items collected will benefit the campus and local community by way of this free resource located in the basement of East Hall.
Donation boxes are in buildings all across campus, but if you need help finding one near you, contact Heidi Tait. Below you can find a list of preferred donation items, but any non-perishable donation is welcome.
Thank you for your support of our campus and local community!
