Get Ready for the Chancellor’s Cup Challenge
From February 2 through 4, the PNW community will focus efforts on alleviating food insecurity on campus by filling the shelves of the PNW Food Pantry!
We hope to surpass our previous high mark of 3.5 tons donated to the Pantry.
The winners of the Chancellor’s Cup Challenge will be announced at the Mane Event on Thursday, February 5! We are excited for your generous contributions and can’t wait to greet you and accept your donations. Thanks again for all you do to support this important event, and GOOD LUCK!
