We raised over 835 pounds of food and other items in the end-of-semester collection drive! (A rough estimate, which doesn’t even include all the items). Way to make an impact, Drake students! Recipients of your donations are the Little Free Pantries in the area and @IMPACT_CAP !
We stocked a few more pantries today! Great work with all the donations. We’re short on volunteers, so please consider signing up via the link in our Instagram bio.
