Our office is working on collecting food, toiletries, and monetary donations for URSU Cares Pantry. The fastest growing population of Food Bank users are Post-Secondary students, yet the Regina Food Bank is not able to stock the URSU Pantry due to their own stock becoming limited. There are blue drop-off bins around campus, or donations can be made at the URSU desk in the Riddell Centre. My challenge is donate five items to a local non-profit, and I have chosen to give to the URSU Pantry. Our office is donating our "jean" funds, too, which is over $100! Yay!
