Snack2Share will be hosting its last pop-up shop of the semester today (Tuesday) on the quad! Come grab snacks from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Venmo and cash are accepted.

Snack2Share is a ministry that harnesses the late-night cravings of college students to feed the hungry. When you buy a snack pack from us, you also provide a snack pack for those in need in Portland. Snack2Share was created by four marketing students who want to make a difference with their school project.

Donations are also welcome at any time through Venmo @Snack2Share; just write “Donation” in the message section! Follow us on Facebook (@snack2share), Instagram (@snack2share), and Twitter (@snack2share). Thank you to everyone who has helped us make a difference so far.

Donate your cans and bottles to the nursing serve team going to Kenya. We are collecting cans and bottles until Saturday, April 7, and will spend that morning doing pick-ups.

Please plan now for the institution-wide stationery order taken at the end of August. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

I will be accepting orders from now through Thursday, Aug. 23, when orders are due.

For order instructions, go to the marketing communications website. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through the university’s print services office.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
– Danette Newkirk (dnewkirk@georgefox.edu)
