Welcome back students! Spring 2016 updates:

Our food drive has officially begun! This year, we have registered with Second Harvest Heartland of Minnesota to help end local hunger. This food drive will be running from Monday, January 25th - Monday, April 25th. Our current goal is 60lbs - but with the addition of a new virtual food drive, we hope to extend that goal!

A donation box will be located in the Food Science & Nutrition office on the second floor (Suite 225) starting Monday, January 25th.

Here is a quick list of some most needed items:

• Canned tuna, ham or chicken, beef stew, chili, peanut butter, canned/dried beans
• 100% fruit juice, canned fruits and vegetables, instant potatoes
• Pasta and sauce, boxed meals, hearty soups
• Cereal, rice
• Low-sodium, low-sugar, gluten-free foods

There is also a virtual addition to our food drive, where you are able to online shop for groceries that will be delivered directly to Second Harvest! Please check out the link:
