The Daily Bruin

Have you been looking for a way to get involved at the Bruin Community Pantry? We need volunteer coverage while our current volunteers travel to visit family in Ethiopia!

We are looking for someone to cover shifts from Oct. 28 through Dec. 2, every Wednesday from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Volunteer Responsibilities:

• Greeting clients warmly
• Orienting new clients
• Helping clients navigate the pantry

Training will be provided during your first shift. The Bruin Community Pantry is located next to the Lewis Apartments, across from the Roberts Center.

If you’re interested in this opportunity, please email Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu to learn more or sign up!

All are welcome to join in a time of Quaker open worship in the chapel this morning (Wednesday) between 11 and 11:30 a.m.

People from across the political spectrum describe themselves as patriotic. But they often have trouble seeing each other as patriotic. Come to a Community Conversation in Canyon Commons at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30, to get a chance to listen to – and talk to – people who think of patriotism differently.

Clarify where we all agree and where we disagree, and why. Come away better able to recognize when others are being patriotic, better able to join with others in love for our country, and better able to fairly and accurately articulate the differences among us.

For more information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

Department of Human Services (DHS) representatives will be at the Bruin Community Pantry between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. the first and third Thursday of each month during the fall semester to assist people with signing up for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly known as food stamps).

No appointment is required. Staff will be at the food bank on the following days:

• Oct. 1 and Oct. 15
• Nov. 5 and Nov. 19
• Dec. 3

Please note: While DHS has indicated their intention to attend, their participation is ultimately managed and provided by their office. If DHS is unable to attend on the scheduled day and time, this is outside of our control.

For more information, please contact Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.
