Food Pantry and Plastic Collections

The Staff Connections Committee is holding two collections at the upcoming All Staff Meeting on Thursday, February 27.

Food pantry donations will benefit Lawrence’s own student food pantry. Items can either be brought to the All Staff Meeting or to Sabin House. Here are the items most needed at this time:

  • instant coffee packets
  • tea
  • instant oatmeal
  • full size shampoo and conditioner
  • chapstick
  • lotion
  • ramen (esp. chicken and veggie)
  • cleaning items

The plastic collection is being done in partnership with Trex – if Lawrence collects at least 500 lbs or 40,500 pieces of plastic film/bags within 6 months, Trex will create a recycled plastic bench to be donated to a local organization of our choice (to be finalized soon).

Thank you for your support! Together, we can make an impactful difference in our community.
