Food drive under way
The University Transportation and Parking Services food drive is already up and running. It will continue through Dec. 16.

Donations may be made in food or cash, though cash is preferred as it allows food items to be purchased in bulk. Every dollar contributed will purchase an average of two-and-a-half pounds of food. The most helpful food donation items are canned food, dried and packaged goods, and baby food and formula. Food collection boxes are available in each campus building and food may also be dropped off at the two information booths at the north and south entrances to campus or directly to the UTAPS office.
