After the holidays, the amount of giving to charitable causes declines while the needs of the people still remain high. Team V.C.R in the Entrepreneurship 300 class wants to help those in need in the Newberg area by collecting donations for the organization Newberg F.I.S.H.
This local food pantry has been proudly supporting the Newberg area for more than 40 years! Most of their food supplies come from local businesses, churches, schools and ordinary people. We are asking both students and staff members for packaged and preserved food donations such as canned foods, rice, beans, etc.

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
