| Our Selected Project For March 2024
BUCKEYE FOOD ALLIANCE
The Service Committee invites you to join in a collection of non-perishable food and personal care items for the Buckeye Food Alliance, OSU’s on-campus food pantry. The BFA serves several thousand OSU students who face food insecurity. Last year we provided over 470 pounds of food and personal care items for our students, and we hope this year’s collection will be even larger.
The collection will occur on MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2024 at the Lunch and Learn event at the Longaberger Alumni House. You don’t have to attend the luncheon in order to participate; just drive into the parking lot and a Service Committee member will take your contribution right from your car. Cash donations are also welcome; make those through the website or via check (made out to UWC with a “service” note in the memo line) or in cash at the luncheon itself.
The BFA is especially in need of these items:
- Canned fruit, vegetables, soups, and beans
- Raw rice
- Granola bars
- Herbs and spices
- Baking goods like flour, sugar, baking soda, etc.; gluten-free products included
- Grocery bags: plastic, paper, or reusable shopping bags
However, the BFA will gladly accept any non-perishable food or personal care items you wish to contribute.
Contact Sally Morgan, Darlene Molitor, or Rose Solomon with any questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your participation!
Please note: All checks should be made out to University Women’s Club.
