Food Drive!

Hey everyone! We'd love for you to participate in the CNU Food Drive tomorrow to benefit the Penninsula Foodbank. Even it's as simple as bringing food by the Ferguson Center, every bit helps to conquering hunger in Newport News! If you have more free time, we would love you to come volunteer. If you go to www.outreach.cnu.edu, you can sign up for a time slot to help sort the food coming in (and other opportunities to help!). There will be a radio station broadcasting live as well, so come by and say hi! There will be other drop-off locations off-site so be sure and let the volunteers know you support them when you see them. Let's show our community that we care!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sara Scichilone at sscichil@cnu.edu, or come find me out in front of the Ferguson Center! I look forward to seeing you!
