ULSU Fashion & Food Drive

I thought it very worth while to talk about the upcoming ULSU Fashion & Food Drive at the University of Lethbridge.

With a group of friends and a very innovative executive member of the EUS we are working towards putting together a scholarship for education students that show a strong interest in volunteering and being involved in the Education Faculty.

At the moment we are putting together the materials needed to get the show on the road.

Basically, once we've done our job of setting up, all the rest of the public need to do to help out and get involved is to donate and go shopping!

Collection runs from October 26 - November 6.

There will be 3 boxes around campus : beside the Security Services office on the 9th Floor, in the 1st Choice Savings Centre by the Fitness Center Stairs, 6th level Atrium of University Hall for clothing drop offs. There will also be drop off points at St. Mary’s School at 422-20th Street S. and Nicholas Sheran Community School at 380 Laval Blvd. W. Just bag up those old clothes that you don't wear anymore and we will do the rest! If you don't have clothing to donate but would still like to help, the Students Union (SU180) is taking food and cash donations.

On November 9th, 10th, 12th & 13th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Students’ Union Ballroom on Level 3 of the SU building is where the sale will be found! Entry will cost $2 or one non-perishable food item. All clothing items that are received will be racked, sorted and marked $2-5.

The hope is to raise around $3000 for the scholarship and all other donations to the food bank will go directly to the ULSU Food Bank (into the hands and mouths of students).

It's a great opportunity to get involved with helping our student body community and to have a great time shopping!
