TRICK-OR-TREAT FOR CANNED GOODS
WVWC students have been trick-or-treating in the community for non-perishable items for more than a decade...it's time you joined this Wesleyan service tradition!
Come to the Chapel oval at 5:30 pm on Thursday, October 31st to sign-up and receive instructions for Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods. Come by yourself, bring a friend, or bring your entire organization! Volunteers will go 'trick-or-treating' for nonperishable items at houses within a designated Buckhannon area. Bags and maps will be provided, but please bring your own bags if you have any! Collected items will be dropped off at the Upshur Cooperative Parish House on the corner of College Avenue and Sedgwick Street. Free pizza and soda will be provided to participants following the event.

Do you want to know more about Ten Thousand Villages? Check it out!
Ten Thousand Villages is an exceptional source for unique handmade gifts, jewelry, home decor, art and sculpture, textiles, serveware and personal accessories representing the diverse cultures of artisans in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. One of the world's largest fair trade organizations and a founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), the company strives to improve the livelihood of tens of thousands of disadvantaged artisans in 38 countries. Ten Thousand Villages accomplishes this by establishing a sustainable market for handmade products in North America, and building long term buying relationships in places where skilled artisan partners lack opportunities for stable income. Product sales help pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed.
