Hello App State Community!
As we transition into the colder season, in addition to food needs, the Mountaineer Food Hub and Free Store is in need of gently used winter coats, hats, scarves, gloves, etc!
If you are willing to donate, please drop off in the Office of Sustainability in the basement of East Hall between 8:30am-5:00pm Monday through Friday.
Thanks to the generosity of the University Post Office, you can also bag these items and give them to your mail carrier for delivery. Just let them know it goes to the Mountaineer Food Hub and Free Store in the basement of East Hall!
Thanks so much for your support!
