The Social Services Specialists, Substance Abuse Counselor, and CIS Site Coordinators will serve as the "Souper Bowl of Giving" site coordinators for your campus. Each will be responsible for leading the canned food drive, communicating the information and collecting the goods.
Donations will be given to local food pantries on both the North and South side of the District.
Thanks in advance for your continued support and cooperation.
