Please make sure your items are non-perishable, and please sign the sheet provided. This box will be placed in Austin hall by Wednesday November 8th and will remain in place until November 17th. Please stay tuned for an opportunity to volunteer with Beta Alpha Psi at a packing party for Linn Benton Food Share as well. We are looking forward to giving back to our local community and want to include any students interested in giving back as well. Those who sign the sheet will be entered for a chance to win a BAP t-shirt and some other goodies. You can also attend BAP’s meetings on November 8th and 15th if you bring 2 cans of food to the meeting even if you are not already a member of the club. You can enjoy dinner with us, a professional experience, and learn more about what BAP can offer you all while benefiting the local community. Thank you for joining us in our first food drive, something that we hope to make into a tradition in future years. ”
