Our Food and Hygiene Pantry team has partnered with local organizations and classes. Our Intro to Design class created a series of posters that will be used to educate about the local issues and statistics related to Hunger and Homelessness. Often the statistics we see in our rural area are national or statewide and we challenged the students to think local this year and make the series personal. These posters are being shared with our other campuses and local groups to create on and off campus poster displays during HHweek. We are wrapping up our Fall Food Shelf Challege and restocking our pantry with food items, along with a generous donation of coats and sweatshirts that are being distributed as the weather changes to winter in our area.
