Hello Blugolds! The Sojourner House in downtown Eau Claire is in need of winter and hygiene items for its residents. A donation box will be available in the 24-hour section of the Library (between the Library and Vicki Lord Larson Hall) this week and next. You can drop off any of the items listed on the flyer below from Thursday, November 13th through Friday, November 21st. Thank you for supporting our community!

Calling all Student Orgs! 🍕
Now through December 2, all student organizations are invited to participate in the Campus Harvest Food Drive—a Giving Tuesday initiative in partnership with the UW–Eau Claire Foundation! Help stock the Campus Harvest Food Pantry while showing your Blugold spirit.

Here’s how it works:
Collect food donations as a group and schedule a drop-off at the pantry on or before December 2 by contacting Sarah at snydersj@uwec.edu. Be sure to include your organization’s name and member count when you schedule and deliver! Every donated item earns points, and the organization with the highest total will win a pizza party courtesy of the Foundation.

But that’s not all! Thanks to a generous Blugold alum, each point your organization earns will also unlock a $1 donation to the Food Pantry, up to $1,000—doubling your impact!

Let’s make this the most generous Giving Tuesday yet! 💙💛
Anyone can donate, but to be eligible for prizes, your group must schedule a drop-off and follow the entry guidelines. All items must be unopened and unexpired.

Register for Winterim now! Enrolling in a Winterim course is a great way to catch up or get ahead in just three weeks -- many courses are even online. Contact your advisor if you have questions. For more information, click here.
