Auxiliary Services sponsoring food drive to support Black Bear Exchange
University of Maine Auxiliary Services will sponsor a campuswide food drive Nov. 18–Dec. 31 with donation boxes located in the University Bookstore and in the Hilltop, Wells and York dining halls. All donations will go to the Black Bear Exchange food pantry, which provides support to university faculty, staff and students with no application required.
Black Bear Exchange has requested non-perishable food donations of boxed cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter or nut butter, jelly or jam, tuna fish, and macaroni and cheese.
Items can be donated at University Bookstore 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Monday–Friday, or deposited in donation boxes in the dining halls during regular dining hours. Donate three items in the bookstore to receive a discount voucher for the purchase of one regular-priced item valid through Dec. 31.
For more information about the food drive, contact Deb Bell, 207.581.3774; debra.bell@maine.edu. Information about the Black Bear Exchange food pantry, including instructions for requesting support, is available online.
