Join us to celebrate and recognize the impactful legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Start the semester with community action! The Career & Civic Engagement Center is collecting items to support local community organizations addressing food security. Items will be shared with Neighbors Helping Neighbors on the Main Line and the Ardmore Food Pantry. As Neighbors Helping Neighbors puts it: Everyone deserves to know from where their next meal will come, and low income should not equate to low nutrition or quality. On Monday, January 19, join our campus community as we sort and package items for delivery! We'll be in the The Well Community Room from 11:00am - 12:00pm. Looking to contribute by donating items? Donations are being collected through January 16. Find a donation box in one of the following locations across campus: The Well, The Campus Center, Canaday Library, and Schwartz Fitness Center. See the list below for the most requested items. We also have a special request for condiments! Please consider adding a salad dressing or sauce to help complete the meals. Requested Items: Peanut Butter Jelly Cooking Oil Canned Tuna or Meat Canned Fruit Canned Vegetables Canned Stew and Soups Oatmeal Breakfast Cereal Granola Bars Crackers Trail Mix Whole Grain Pasta Pasta Sauce 100% Juice Rice Boxed, Non-Refrigerated Milk Special Requests--Condiments: Salad Dressing Ketchup Mustard BBQ Sauce Mayonnaise Please avoid donating: Expired or opened items, homemade foods, damaged containers, bulk items (these may be difficult to distribute), fresh produce.
