A delivery Monday from the English & Modern Languages Department pushed them to the lead, ousting Financial Aid from the top of the Giving Cup Competition. But, the race is very close, with English only 41 items ahead of Financial Aid as we are still several weeks away from the April 15 deadline. Will Liberal Arts/Individual Studies, currently in third place, sneak in for the win by picking up 330 more items to close the gap? Who will win?!
So far, 4,701 items have been donated to the college’s food pantry through The Giving Cup! As you can imagine, these donations go a long way in helping our students succeed academically by helping them worry a little less about their next meals.
Special kudos to all of our participating departments (in no particular order): Financial Aid; Mortuary Science, Math & Engineering Science, English & Modern Languages; Respiratory Care; Center for Careers & Employment; School of Business; Liberal Arts & Individual Studies; History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences; Viking Day Care; Dental Hygiene; Teacher Preparation; Communications & Marketing; The Foundation; Center for Access and Assistative Technology; Biology, Chemistry, & Physics; and the Theater Department.
The Food Pantry wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Office of Student Activities, The Student Senate, and the Faculty Student Association.
Don’t see your department on this list, but want to? There is still time. All you need to do is either make a food donation directly to the pantry (2nd floor of the Campus Center, Student Activities) and email me the count, or deliver it to the Center for Careers and Employment (2nd Floor of the Campus Center) and we’ll make the count and delivery for you. Don’t forget that each item inside a box counts as 1 – so a box of 6 granola bars is 6 and a package of 8 Ramen noodles is 8.
Feel free to email me for information or for a list of suggested donation items at j.litwin@hvcc.edu.
Thank you for your support!
