As commencement rapidly approaches and our catering events ramp up with all the end-of-year activities, we realize we are missing a lot of equipment.

We will be happy to pick up anything recovered, or just bring it by. Send us an e-mail at catering@georgefox.edu and we’ll arrange to retrieve anything and everything!
