Traffic at the Campus Food Bank continues to be steady with more than 200 visits for September, and it is looking like that for October as well. Fortunately, donations from both campus and the outside community also continue. We are often asked for eggs (which we do not supply) and of course meat is a treat. We have also been asked for "breads and grains".
Social media outreach is increasing with Facebook and a new Instagram account. Volunteers are always welcome, please see the following link for sign up times.
