Having said that, even if you don't have a Pond class, we will gladly accept any and all food donations (shout out to the paras who have always been VERY supportive during these drives).
For most of this school year, we have been able to feed 2-3 families of four for a week, every week, as a result of your generosity! So thanks in advance for your continued support of the One Campus Grocery Food Pantry!”
Questions, stop by RM 21/22.
