Portland State students are collecting food to fill the shelves of the student-run food pantry for spring term
The pantry in Smith Memorial Student Union stocks donated non-perishable food and personal items such as deodorant and toothpaste. The shelves are often nearly empty, because the food goes out as fast as it comes in.
To encourage donations, the Associated Students of Portland State University, KPSU, the Portland State Vanguard and the Viking Gameroom are hosting free, unlimited bowling, pool and games for faculty, staff and students in exchange for a suggested donation of two food items or $3.
The food drive will be held Thursday, April 4, from noon–4 p.m.
The public can drop off donations in the ASPSU office (Smith 117) or at the pantry (open noon–2 p.m. Monday–Friday in Smith 325).
