There will be collection bins for non-perishable food items at the following locations around campus all week for you to make a donation: • Ford Alumni Center • Club Sports (EMU) • Student Sustainability Center (EMU) • Lillis Business Complex We will also be accepting donations at the Duck Store during the Beat Washington t-shirt handout on Friday, October 20 from 11 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Bring your cans when you come to pick up your Beat Tee for gameday!
Food Drive Most Wanted:
All non-perishable food item donations are accepted. Check the Student Food Pantry website to find out which items are the most needed. Fresh foods are accepted. If you would like to donate fresh foods or dairy products, please bring them to the Ford Alumni Center drop-off location on Friday, October 20, to maximize shelf life.
