With only 25 boxes of macaroni and cheese left on the shelf, the Bruin Community Pantry is in desperate need of this popular food item. Many college students have not learned the fine art of cooking, and this food item is a staple for their food cupboard.

As you know, food supply chains are greatly interrupted, and this has affected the Oregon Food Bank’s ability to procure this item. Generic brands have the best price.

If you would prefer to purchase through Amazon, please use the Bruin Community Pantry wish list on Amazon, available here.

Please have these items delivered to the food bank in Roberts 109 during our hours of operation, which can be found here. Thank you so much for your help!

Please contact Jere Witherspoon if you have any questions at bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu.

Did you know that the average cost per household per month for natural gas usage is approximately $65, which is primarily used to heat buildings and water?

You can reduce your gas usage by making sure all the windows and doors are closed. Closing windows and doors reduces the amount of gas used because it takes less gas to sustain indoor temperature compared to heating a cold room with a draft.

Lowering your thermostat a degree or two each week is a great start to reducing gas use. When there’s no one in the building, try turning off the heater in the building.
