Thanksgiving Food Drive

Sunday, 22 November, 2015

Campus Ministries’ Center for Service & Social Justice is sponsoring our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, dedicated to providing Scranton families with a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. This year, our goal is to fill 200 baskets, with a turkey, vegetables, pumpkin pie, and all other essentials needed to create a wonderful meal.  We will be distributing food bags directly to those in need at Valley View Housing Development in South Scranton.  Volunteers can be provided bus transportation to this location in different shifts from DeNaples or you may take your own vehicle.  Bus transportation may require you to wait to leave and return.

The past success of the Thanksgiving Food Drive has been the result of the University community’s generosity. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, over 100 students, staff and faculty will be needed to help package and personally distribute the baskets made possible through your financial contributions. This compassion and selflessness reflects our Jesuit mission of “service of faith and the promotion of justice.”

University of Scranton volunteers are needed and may register on Royal Sync under service opportunities.
