Donations sought for UND student food bank

Food For Thought is a food bank at the Student Union that provides food items for students in need.  To help, UND Staff Senate has set up donation boxes across campus for you to donate to the food drive, including the University Federal Credit Union, Chester Fritz Library, School of Medicine & Health Sciences, Facilities, Hughes Fine Arts Center, as well as many other places on campus. Boxes will be in place through Oct. 2.

You can also contact your area Denim Day coordinator about donations.  Or donate directly to the Student Involvement Center at the Union. Check out this video for more information on the food pantry: http://www.wdaz.com/community/people/4438157-food-thought-und-creates-food-pantry-students.
