Actual food donations are lagging a bit this year — please think of the food drive when you go grocery shopping or look in your cupboard. Food donation boxes can be found all over the College. Interested in other totals so far? The soup sale brought in $280, and the hot dog sale a whopping $442.
Want a painless, less fattening, way to give? Have monthly payroll deductions made for as little as $5 per month. Lindy has the forms.
