Non-Perishable Food/Toiletries Drive (12pm - 7pm)
Stop! Drop! And Help! Treat the symptoms of Homelessness We are holding a campus-wide can and toiletries drive to collect as many items as possible to package and distribute to those in need this season. Collection bins will be set up in high-traffic areas so students, faculty, and staff can drop off canned goods, non-perishables, and basic hygienic items. Next time you stop off for groceries, pick up an extra can or two! Every donation is much appreciated and will go a long way.

Look for collection bins in your residence hall, at Hillel or in the Stamp.
