Hey All!

Yesterday marked the start of the yearly Philabundance food drive. Philabundance is a fantastic organization that works to provide food to the community. If you’d like to read more their website is:

 http://www.philabundance.org/ 

Every year SGA runs a food drive and donates everything to Philabundance just before Thanksgiving. It is also a competition between the classes, 2016+2018 vs 2017+2019. Whichever class donates the most gets $250 to their SGA which can use the funds for whatever to benefit the class.

There are two boxes near the security desk, which will be decorated by your SGA reps!

Please see the flyer below for more information and donate food!
